Patent

CA 2071513

This invention discloses a method for resuscitating the brain as a result of ischemic and anoxic injuries whereby the patient survives neurologically intact. The method includes the steps of catheterizing the patient's circulatory system and introducing a temperature controlled solution to cool the brain to a coma and a state of hypothermic shock, further driving the brain into a sub- metabolic coma, oxygenating the brain and inhibiting free radicle damage, and continuing additional efforts at life support. The temperature controlled brain resuscitation solution includes barbiturates, perfluorocarbons, antioxidants, brain and neurologic tissue damage reversing and protecting agents, carrier vehicles, diluents, nutrients, and anti-coagulating agents. A device which performs this method is also disclosed. This device includes a fluid reservoir (30), an oxygen tank (34), a heat exchanger (38) and removable catheter lines (60).
