“…after cardiac arrest), epilepsy and surgery and do not seem to have had closed-loop temperature feedback. 96,97,210,211 Very limited patient data are reported, although 'many clinical trials' are mentioned. 210 Smirnov says of the Thermokholod FV that ' As clinical tests have shown, the brain can be cooled at various controlled rates (up to 0.3 °C/minute) and the reduced temperature continuously maintained with an accuracy of ± 0.5 °C' (p. 259).…”

“…211 The Kholod 2 and 2-F could also be used for warming. Because body temperature reduced as a result of head cooling, Smirnov and colleagues 210 developed two body-warming devices -one electric and one using air delivered through a transparent 'tent' weighted at the sides ( Figure 17) -to maintain body temperature (31-36 °C) during head cooling or for warming during surgery. 210 The electric body-warming device had closed-loop temperature control to the patient's rectal temperature.…”

“…210 They used water, or a 10-20% mixture of water and alcohol, as a coolant and had a helmet with a collecting chamber, an electric pump, a heat exchanger and a temperature controller, housed in a wheeled cabinet. The helmet was specially moulded to the head (anthropologists were consulted over the shape so that it would fit a range of head sizes) and had evenly distributed tubes, with openings on the head side and the coolant collecting chamber, which also acted as a head rest, under the head.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research...
