Chosen Device

I decided to get more specific and focus only on Intravenous cooling devices. These work by circulating cooled saline through a metal tip catheter which is generally inserted into the fermoral vein or directly into the Vena Cava. The saline pulls heat directly out of the body. These systems are supposedly highly effective in dropping patients core temperature.
