| Research Abstract |
(1) By the simulation system we have established, we found that it was possible to cool a spinal cord to the target temperature (systemic temperature - 5℃) within 15 to 20 minutes in the constant heat flux condition.
(2) We have developed the cooling device with peltier element.
(3) With porcine experimental model, we could cool spinal cord to - 2.7℃ compared with systemic temperature within 15minutes in condition with aortic clamping and thermal insulation of a back.
