Embodiments of the invention provide a system for temperature control of the human body. The system includes an indwelling catheter with a tip-mounted heat transfer element. The catheter is fluidically coupled to a console 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.

L'invention concerne un système de régulation de la température du corps humain. Le système comprend une sonde à demeure pourvue d'un élément de transfert de chaleur monté sur une tête. La sonde est couplée de manière fluidique à une console permettant à un fluide caloporteur de transfert de chaleur réchauffé ou refroidi d'échanger de la chaleur avec l'élément de transfert de chaleur, réchauffant ou refroidissant ainsi le sang. Le sang réchauffé ou refroidi réchauffe ou refroidit alors le corps du patient ou une partie sélectionnée de celui-ci. L'invention concerne en particulier des méthodes et des dispositifs, y compris des logiciels, de refoidissement ou de réchauffement et de régulation du refroidissement ou du réchauffement à partir d'une température contrôlée projetée mesurée par un capteur de température dans la sonde.
