摘要：
Methods and systems for infusing a cooled infusate to a target location in apatient are described. A temperature of the blood and infusate admixtureupstream of the catheter as well as at other locations along the catheter maybe monitored and a feedback system utilized to control the volume,temperature, and/or infusion rate of the infusate so as to achieve apredetermined temperature at the target location. The system may monitor orcalculate hematocrit upstream of the catheter and adjust infusion so as toprovide sufficient oxygenation of the blood and infusate admixture . Thesystem may also monitor reflux of the infusate past a distal end of thecatheter and reduce infusion upon the detection of reflux.
