An enclosure is described for containing a patient whose core temperature is to be cooled below normal body temperature, e.g. to reduce brain damage in patients suffering cardiac arrest. The enclosure comprises a base panel and one or more side panels attached to the base panel, the side panel or panels being foldable over the patient to create an enclosure. Air conduits are provided on one or more panels with outlets positioned to direct cold air onto areas of the patient from which heat loss is particularly rapid.

L'invention concerne une enceinte dans laquelle on place un patient, dont la température interne doit être amenée en-dessous de la température corporelle normale, par exemple pour réduire les lésions cérébrales chez des patients souffrant d'un arrêt cardiaque. L'enceinte comprend un panneau de base et un ou plusieurs panneaux latéraux fixés audit panneau de base, le ou les panneaux latéraux pouvant se replier sur le patient afin de créer une enceinte. Des conduits d'air sont fixés sur un ou plusieurs panneaux, leurs sorties étant placées de façon à diriger de l'air froid sur des zones du patient, ce qui permet une chute de température rapide.
