Abstract
An apparatus, for resuscitating the brain as a result of ischemic and anoxic injury where the patient survives neurologically intact, includes an oxygen source, a fluid reservoir, a heat exchanger, a pump, and removable catheter lines. The fluid solution may be delivered into the patient's circulatory system and ultimately to the brain by pumping, sufficient pressure from the oxygen source, or by a combination of pumping and oxygen pressure. Embodiments employing preoxygenated solution are also disclosed.
