Although much work remains to be done in identifying those clinical situations in which hypothermia can be effective there is now sufficient evidence to regard it as a standard of care at least for some indications such as selected patients with postanoxic encephalopathy. Thus attention is now partly shifting from assessment of the clinical evidence of efficacy to technical and implementation issues. This review provides a list of criteria by which cooling devices can be judged and specifically it discusses one of the new cooling devices the Alsius CoolGard 3000 device and CoolLine catheter. General aspects and advantages disadvantages of surface versus core cooling are discussed as are potential side effects device-specific pros and cons and cost-effectiveness issues. In addition the current state of the evidence for use of induced hypothermia for various indications is briefly reviewed. This article is part of the equipment reviews section edited by Martin Chapman David Gattas and Ganesh Suntharalingam. The Section Editors contributed the abstract and introduction of this article Introduction At its conception the purpose of this section was to explore new technologies by combining development details from industry with .
