    A novel metal probe using cold water circulation effectively treated severe hyperthermia in three patients. This simple technique rapidly reduced body temperature, saving lives.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Cardiovascular Interventions
    • Thermoregulation

    Background:

    • Severe hyperthermia poses a critical medical challenge requiring rapid and effective temperature reduction.
    • Traditional methods for managing hyperthermia can be slow or invasive.

    Observation:

    • A cold water circulation heat exchanger metal probe was utilized in three patients diagnosed with severe hyperthermia.
    • The probe was inserted into the caval veins via the saphenous vein access route.

    Findings:

    • A significant decrease in core body temperature was observed, dropping from 42°C to 37°C within 40 minutes.
    • All three patients with severe hyperthermia were successfully treated and survived the critical event.

    Implications:
