Thermodynamic assessment of therapeutic hypothermia techniques for rehabilitation of post-cardiac arrest patients

A comparative study of the three main methods for inducing hypothermia in post-cardiac arrest patients is performed. A human thermal model from the literature is adapted to simulate an average adult during treatment using intravascular cooling, extracorporeal cooling, or a combination of both. The i...
