摘要：
Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selectedregions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperaturemodification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter withinwhich a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette is attachedto the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette beingsized to engage a cavity within a control unit. The control unit includes a heater/coolerdevice for providing heated or cooled fluid to a heat exchanger in thermal communicationwith the fluid heat exchange medium circulating to the heat exchange catheter,a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensorsaround the body and the system. A temperature control scheme for ramping the bodytemperature up or down without overshoot is provided.
