Mild hypothermia induction after cardiac arrest using water-circulating cooling device

[...]the use of therapeutic hypothermia (32-34°C for 12-24 hours) for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest has been endorsed by the American Heart Association and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation [3]. A variety of techniques such as surface cooling, endovascular catheters, cooling caps/helmets, cool intravascular fluid, and cardiopulmonary bypass have been used to therapeutically lower core body temperature in either clinical or experimental settings [7]. [...]the effectiveness of mild hypothermia could be improved if initiated as soon as possible after return of spontaneous circulation [8].
