摘要：
Methods and systems for infusing a cooled infusate to a target location in a patientare described. A temperature of the blood and infusate admixture upstream ofthe catheter as well as at other locations along the catheter may be monitoredand a feedback system utilized to control the volume, temperature, and/or infusionrate of the infusate so as to achieve a predetermined temperature at the targetlocation. The system may monitor or calculate hematocrit upstream of the catheterand adjust infusion so as to provide sufficient oxygenation of the blood and infusateadmixture . The system may also monitor reflux of the infusate past a distal endof the catheter and reduce infusion upon the detection of reflux.
