Abstract
The present disclosure includes devices, systems and related methods useable for controlling a patient's body temperature by endovascular heat exchange as well as body surface heat exchange.
Claims21
-55. (canceled)
A system for controlling a body temperature of a subject, the system comprising:
- a first source of a heat exchange fluid;
- a first heat exchange device configured to heat or cool the body temperature of the subject by transferring heat between the heat exchange fluid and the subject;
- a first pump configured to circulate the heat exchange fluid through the first heat exchange device from the first source of the heat exchange fluid;
- a controller configured to control the first pump to circulate the heat exchange fluid;
- and
- a removable secondary heat exchange system that is configured to interface with the controller, the removable secondary heat exchange system comprising:
- a second source of a heat exchange fluid;
- a second pump;
- a second heat exchange device through which the second pump is configured to circulate heat exchange fluid from the second source;
- and
- an electronic storage medium storing instructions configured to cause the controller to control the second pump to control the body temperature of the subject.

A removable secondary heat exchange system that is configured to interface with a controller of a primary heat exchange system that controls a body temperature of a subject, the removable secondary heat exchange system comprising:
- a source of a heat exchange fluid;
- a pump;
- a heat exchange device through which the pump is configured to circulate heat exchange fluid from the source of the heat exchange fluid;
- and
- an electronic storage medium storing instructions configured to cause the controller to control the pump to control the body temperature of the subject.
