Design a device that improves temperature regulation of the body though altering the heat loss at the lungs.

Project Overview

Induced hypothermia has been proven to be clinically effective after cardiac surgery and cardiac arrest. There is currently a lack of effective methods of cooling, and limited research into artificial body temperature cooling. Due to the large surface area of pulmonary tissue, temperature regulation through gas exchange has the potential to be a rapid method of cooling. In addition to the large surface area of the lungs, gas exchange occurs all throughout the body, making it an effective means of whole body cooling. In these conditions patients are already intubated giving direct access to the pulmonary system. It is important to design a device that improves temperature regulation of the body by cooling air entering the lungs.
