Design of Enhanced Brain Hypothermia System

The brain temperature regulation is mainly reliant on brain tissue metabolic activity. In clinicalpractice, intensive care, constant managing, and core temperature monitoring in cases with brain injuryare extremely suggested. Following significant brain injury, brain temperature is usually higher than thenormal one and can differ solely of systemic temperature. It has been noted that in brain injury cases, thebrain is very vulnerable and sensitive to little fluctuations in temperature. Brain cooling techniquesinclude blood cooling, intravascular cooling, and surface cooling. Nevertheless, defining the suitabletemperature is challenging due to notable variations amongst individuals and variations over time inpatients. Therefore, specific brain temperature control is challenging in manual techniques. The mainobjectives of this paper are to build an Arduino Based Brain Hypothermia System (ABHS), which isused to reduce the temperature of the brain after a stroke and, therefore, can decrease brain damage andrisk of death. The proposed system for brain temperature management aims to provide constant controland monitoring of a patient’s brain temperature for brain injury patients. Negative TemperatureCoefficient (NTC) sensors and Peltier cooling elements as the main parts of the system. The weight ofthe helmet that cooling elements attached weight about one kilogram, and the cooling elements arewater-cooled to maintain the best performance of the head cooling system.
