Power: Horsepower (HP) measures a cold tub’s motor power for efficient water cooling, says Whiting. “Tubs with 0.8 HP or higher cool water effectively and sustain lower temperatures without ...
Targeted temperature management (TTM), previously known as therapeutic hypothermia or protective hypothermia, is an active treatment that tries to achieve and maintain a specific body temperature in a person for a specific duration of time in an effort to improve health outcomes during recovery after a period of stopped blood flow to the brain.

A study published in 2007 found that the Arctic Sun caused "skin erythema during the cooling period... in almost all patients," but that no pressure ulcers or frostbite was noted. [ 7 ] Invasive cooling catheter companies have claimed that catheters can lower body temperature at a faster rate, which is relevant because most of the clinical data ...
The Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy (RECOVERY Trial) [1] is a large-enrollment clinical trial of possible treatments for people in the United Kingdom admitted to hospital with severe COVID-19 infection. [2] [3] [4] The trial was later expanded to Indonesia, Nepal and Vietnam. [5]
This registry based, multi-center, multi-country data provide provisional support for the use of ECMO for COVID-19 associated acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Given that this is a complex technology that can be resource intense, guidelines exist for the use of ECMO during the COVID-19 pandemic. [85] [86] [87]
Cryotherapy, sometimes known as cold therapy, is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy.Cryotherapy can be used in many ways, including whole body exposure for therapeutic health benefits or may be used locally to treat a variety of tissue lesions.
COVID-19 testing involves analyzing samples to assess the current or past presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that cases COVID-19 and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The two main types of tests detect either the presence of the virus or antibodies produced in response to infection.
A liquid cooling garment (LCG) is a form-fitting garment that is used to remove body heat from the wearer. It is commonly used in environments where evaporative cooling from sweating and open-air convection cooling does not work or is insufficient, or when the wearer has a biological problem that hinders self-regulation of body temperature.
