ABSTRACT:
An enclosure is described for containing a patient whose core temperature is to be cooled below normal body temperature, e.g. to reduce brain damage in patients suffering cardiac arrest. The enclosure comprises a base panel and one or more side panels attached to the base panel, the side panels being foldable over the patient to create an enclosure. Air conduits are provided on one or more panels with outlets positioned to direct cold air onto areas of the patient from which heat loss is particularly rapid.
