Brain damage equipment comprises fitted helmet with in built cooler and function-monitoring instruments and elasticated size-adaptable crown area

摘要

A helmet (5) is placed over the patients head complete with cooling device (7) and closed round the neck by tabs (4) with buckle (8). The helmet has an elastic zone in the crown and the outside of the helmet is low on heat conductance as against the inside which conducts heat well. Cooling (7) is by cold running water or again by coolers and uses cooling chambers for medium as appropriate. Instruments (5) in the helmet monitor body functions.
