The Topical Cooling Device(R)(*) (TCD) is a closed system that circulates sterile saline solution at 4 degrees C in the pericardium. The system's ability to maintain cardiac hypothermia under clinical conditions depends on the method of cannulation and the core temperature of the patient. After studies were done in ten groups of patients, with at least three patients in each group, the effects of these two variables on TCD performance were then observed in a series of over 250 coronary artery bypass cases and are summarized in the following report.
局部冷却装置(R)(*)(TCD)是一个封闭系统,可使4℃的无菌盐溶液在心包内循环。该系统在临床条件下维持心脏低温的能力取决于插管方法和患者的核心体温。在对十组患者进行研究后(每组至少三名患者),然后在250多例冠状动脉搭桥病例中观察了这两个变量对TCD性能的影响,结果总结在以下报告中。
