Title
The blood heat exchanger in intra-arterial selective cooling infusion for acute ischemic stroke: A computational fluid-thermodynamics performance, experimental assessment and evaluation on the brain temperature
Abstract
Intra-arterial selective cooling infusion with the autologous blood (IA-SCAI) is a promising therapeutic hypothermia induction method for conferring neuroprotection to acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The blood heat exchanger (BHE) plays a crucial role in IA-SCAI's cooling capacity. However, there are no BHEs currently available that are specifically designed for the IA-SCAI, which requires a low blood flow to be compatible with cerebral hemodynamics. In an effort to develop a BHE for AIS patients, a prototype of a commercial BHE, Medtronic MYOtherm XP®, was mathematically modeled; specifically, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to analyze its hemo- and thermo-dynamic characteristics under low blood flow including temperature distribution, velocity field and shear stress.
