In particular in case of a stroke or a craniocerebral trauma a positive effect can be achieved by cooling the neck area (5) of the patient (3) until a surgeon is available. The cooling device (4) is specifically shaped in order to follow the contours of the neck (5) and its lower edge (8) is guided in a curve across the shoulders. A fluid is accommodated in coolant ducts inside the device (4) which could be additionally provided with a temperature sensor. In another version the head (1) of the patient (3) can also be covered.
