ABSTRACT:
An apparatus of the present invention induces hypothermia in a patient and effects cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on the patient. The apparatus including a gurney for supporting and facilitating transport of the patient, the gurney having at least a portion thereof in fluid communication with a coolant source, and a body suit having a thoracic cuff and an abdominal cuff. The thoracic and abdominal cuffs are sequentially inflatable and deflatable for sequentially compressing and releasing the thoracic and abdominal region of the patient to induce inhalation and exhalation in the lungs and circulation of the blood supply in the patient. The apparatus further including a head cooling device which includes a helmet adapted to be mounted on the head of the patient and a mask in fluid communication with a cooled oxygen source for supplying cooled oxygen to the lungs of the patient. The helmet of the head cooling device having an outer shell and a bladder mounted on the outer shell in fluid communication with the coolant source for extracranial cooling of the brain.
