Artificial hypothermia protects the brain from anoxia. This study developed a microcontroller-based human brain hypothermia system (HBHS) for precise temperature control during medical procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Cerebral anoxia poses significant risks during various medical procedures.
  • Artificial hypothermia, particularly craniocerebral hypothermia (CCH), is an effective neuroprotective strategy.
  • CCH is increasingly utilized in cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, and neuroresuscitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and construct a novel microcontroller-based human brain hypothermia system (HBHS).
  • To provide precise temperature control for brain cooling and heating applications.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a thermoelectric hypothermic helmet integrated with a control and power unit.
  • Implementation of an 8-bit PIC16F877 microcontroller for automated temperature regulation.

  • Utilizing a 10-bit digital system for temperature conversion and control based on pre-set values.

    • Main Results:

    • The HBHS successfully controlled helmet temperature within a range of -5 to +46 degrees C.
    • The system demonstrated high accuracy, maintaining temperatures within +/-0.5 degrees C.
    • Calibration and operational range testing confirmed system reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed HBHS offers a precise and automated solution for craniocerebral hypothermia.
    • This system has potential applications in various surgical and critical care settings requiring controlled brain temperature.
    • The microcontroller-based design ensures accurate and reliable temperature management for neuroprotection.
