Summary

Hypothermic resuscitation is proven to be benefit to the cardiac origin cardiac arrest patients for it improve brain recovery dramatically. However, traditional cooling devices and methods, most external cooling methods, include ice blanket, cooling helmet, or ice packing lower the body temperature slowly or inefficiently which make many emergency physicians hesitate to perform hypothermic resuscitation. To improve and promote the practice of hypothermia resuscitation, more efficient temperature control method is necessary. We conduct this clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of internal cooling catheter and temperature regulatory device, which is approved by FDA in neurologic ICU for temperature control, in the cardiac arrest patients.
