TEQCool’s novel brain normothermia treatment will offer several unique benefits. Rapid selective brain cooling combined with precise brain temperature control are the most important therapeutic benefits, with the potential to significantly improve the cooling treatment of brain injured patients.
Rapid brain cooling
The rapid internal brain cooling, via the nasal cavities, has the capacity to reduce the brain temperature approximately 2ºC in ≤ 1 hour in a controlled manner. The treatment is safe and tolerable and does not require any surgery. The body temperature will gradually converge towards the brain temperature over a number of hours. The total cooling power transferred to the patient is significantly lower than with conventional cooling systems.
Brain temperature control
The system will monitor, control and display the brain temperature.
