Hypothermia for therapeutic purposes is used for its<br />cooling effect on certain areas of the patient's body, in order to reduce the risk of ischemic<br />tissue injury following a period of inadequate blood supply [1]. Using of this treatment<br />reduces mortality rate from 46.51% to 25.58% [2]. Patients who have been shown to benefit<br />from induced hypothermia include the following:<br /> Intubated patients with treatment initiated within 6 hours after cardiac arrest<br />(nonperfusing ventricular tachycardia [VT] or VF)<br /> Patients able to maintain a systolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg, with or without pressors,<br />after CPR<br /> Patients in a coma at the time of cooling<br />Patients for whom hypothermia may theoretically carry increased risk include those<br />with the following conditions:<br /> Recent major surgery within 14 days - Possible risk for infection and bleeding<br /> Systemic infection/sepsis - Small increase in risk of infection<br /> Coma from other causes (drug intoxication, preexisting coma prior to arrest)<br />In addition, hypothermia is inappropriate in patients with a valid do not resuscitate<br />order (DNR).<br />There are two types of the methods of producing hypothermia: invasive and<br />noninvasive. Non-invasive methods using external sources of cooling applied on the skin cold<br />air, ice packs, cooling beds, or as in our case a special helmet for head with Peltier elements.<br />The use of Peltier cooling elements allow elaboration of a mobile, low size device which can<br />be used in emergency medical services which will reduce the risk of a ischemic trauma of<br />tissues after heart failure or blockage of arteries to embolism.</p><p>figure</p><p>Fig. 1 The location of Peltier elements and cooling system on the human head</p></dc:description> <dc:source>NANO-2016: Ethical, Ecological and Social Problems of Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies () 10-11</dc:source> <dc:title>Therapeutic Hypothermia</dc:title> <dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type> </oai_dc:dc>
