Embodiments of the invention provide a system for temperature control of the human body. The system includes an indwelling catheter (106) with a tip- mounted heat transfer element (102). The catheter is fluidically coupled to a console (544) that provides a heated or cooled heat transfer working fluid to exchange heat with the heat transfer element, thereby heating or cooling blood. The heated or cooled blood then heats or cools the patient~s body or a selected portion thereof. In particular, methods and devices, including software, are provided for administering cooling or rewarming and controlling the same based on a projected control temperature measured by a temperature sensor within the catheter.

Dans des modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne un système permettant de réguler la température corporelle humaine. Ledit système comprend une sonde à demeure équipée d'un élément de transfert de chaleur monté sur une pointe. La sonde est couplée fluidiquement à une console qui fournit un fluide de travail de transfert de chaleur chauffé ou refroidi afin d'échanger de la chaleur avec ledit élément de transfert de chaleur, ce qui permet de réchauffer ou de refroidir le sang. Le sang réchauffé ou refroidi réchauffe ou refroidit ensuite le corps du patient ou une partie sélectionnée de celui-ci. L'invention concerne, en particulier, des méthodes et des dispositifs, notamment un logiciel, permettant d'effectuer un refroidissement ou un réchauffement et une régulation en fonction d'une température de régulation projetée par un capteur de température dans ladite sonde.
