New Body Cooling Unit Saves an 18 Month Old at Mercy
An 18 month old girl in Cedar Rapids neared death at Mercy hospital as convulsions and a 105 degree fever raged. A new temperature control hypothermia machine, bought days earlier, lowered her temp within 20 minutes and she regained consciousness. Doctors credit the device with helping restore stability and enabling her to recover. The unit, first of its kind in Cedar Rapids, cools via a plastic blanket and cyrol mask with ethyl alcohol water circulation and allows precise temperature monitoring.
