A New Microcontroller-Based Human Brain Hypothermia System

Abstract: Many studies show that artificial hypothermia of brain in conditions of anesthesia with the rectal temperature lowered down to 33 degrees C produces pronounced prophylactic effect protecting the brain from anoxia. Out of the methods employed now in clinical practice for reducing the oxygen consumption by the cerebral tissue, the most efficacious is craniocerebral hypothermia (CCH). It is finding even more extensive application in cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, neurorenimatology and many other fields of … Show more

“…HBHS consists of a thermoelectric hypothermic helmet, a control unit, and a power unit. Helmet temperature is controlled by an 8-bit PIC16F877 microcontroller, which is adjusted between −5°C and +46°C with an accuracy of +/−0.5 °C [24]. Moreover, a heating rate controller is obtained using an AT89C55WD microcontroller for the measurement of thermo luminescence (TL) in alkali halides and other related compounds.…”

“…Microcontrollers require some simple peripheral circuits when they are used for circuit designs. For example, power supply is used to supply required energy for both microcontroller and its neighboring circuits [13][14][15][16]. Power supplies must be isolated from mains and have a limited current and voltage output in order to protect the patient.…”

“…215 Human brain hypothermia system developed by the Electronics and Computer Education Department, Faculty of Technical Education Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey The system comprises 'a microcontroller-based control card, four different temperature measurement circuits, a electronic control card module, a water circulation system, a switching mode power supply, and a helmet' (p. 502). 216 The temperature range is -5 °C to 46.15 °C because it is intended that the device could also be used for hyperthermic tumour therapy. This device is undergoing animal testing and has not yet been used in humans (Dr Guler, 28 February 2011, personal communication).…”
