Abstract
According to some embodiments, a system may treat blood outside the body of a patient. The system may include one or more pumps configured to draw blood from a patient into a fluid flow path at a rate, for example, of 5-7 liters per minute. The system may include one or more heat exchangers coupled to the fluid flow path and configured to heat the blood, for example, to a temperature above 42 degrees Celsius and below 43.2 degrees Celsius.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- one or more heat exchangers configured to heat blood in a fluid flow path to a temperature between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius, wherein the blood was received from a patient with a core body temperature, as measured inside of the bladder, of between 42 and 43.2 degrees Celsius;
- and
- one or more venting modules coupled to the fluid flow path, the one or more venting modules configured to receive the blood heated by the one or more heat exchangers and to remove carbon dioxide from at least a portion of the heated blood by causing the heated blood to flow across one side of a filter while passing a fluid over an opposite side of the filter.
A system comprising:
- one or more heat exchangers configured to heat blood in a fluid flow path to a temperature between 42 and 43.9 degrees Celsius wherein the blood was received from a patient with a core body temperature of between 42 and 43.2 degrees Celsius;
- and
- one or more venting modules coupled to the fluid flow path, the one or more venting modules configured to receive the blood heated by the one or more heat exchangers and to remove carbon dioxide from at least a portion of the heated blood.
A system comprising:
- one or more heat exchangers configured to heat blood in a fluid flow path to a temperature in a range of 42 to 45 degrees Celsius wherein the blood was received from a patient with a core body temperature of between 42 and 43.2 degrees Celsius;
- and
- one or more venting modules coupled to the fluid flow path, the one or more venting modules configured to remove carbon dioxide from at least a portion of the blood, wherein the one or more venting modules are configured for the blood to flow through the one or more venting modules at a rate of 4 to 7 liters per minute.
