Abstract:
1. A method for cerebral cooling, comprising the steps of providing a cooling assembly comprising: inserting the first elongate tubular member into a patient's nasal cavity through the patient's first nostril such that the first balloon and plurality of ports are positioned in the nasal cavity; inserting the second elongate tubular member into patient's nasal cavity through the patient's second nostril such that the second balloon and plurality of ports are positioned in the nasal cavity; inflating the first and second balloons by infusing the pressurized fluid from the reservoir through the manifold and into the second lumens of the first and second elongate tubular members into the first and second balloons to form first and second seals at the posterior nasal cavity; and delivering the pressurized fluid onto a surface of the patient's nasal cavity by infusing the pressurized fluid from the reservoir through the manifold, into the first lumens and through the plurality of ports of the first and second elongate tubular members.
