6 The Polar Air II forced-air cooling system provides a safe, simple and economically sensible method for patient cooling with the additional fl exibility of forced-air warming therapy. It is useful in treating refractory fevers, as well as inducing and maintaining therapeutic hypothermia. No matter your patient warming or cooling needs, the Polar Air II system has you covered. Clinical Benefi ts of Therapeutic HypothermiaThere is good evidence of benefi t in selected patients for the use of hypothermia following cardiopulmonary resuscitation, traumatic brain injury, stroke and neurogenic fever.

7 In 2003, the American Heart Association (AHA) endorsed the use of therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), an umbrella group of specialists worldwide, issued a recommendation supporting its ,3 Moreover, there are compelling theoretical reasons to consider therapeutic hypothermia for treating other similar cooling is an easy-to-use, noninvasive, and effective way to maintain therapeutic hypothermia as a part of a comprehensive cooling protocol and after rapid induction with iced saline In anaesthetised patients, forced-air can effectively reduce core temperature to therapeutic range, faster than passive cooling.

8 6 and when compared to a water mattress, convective blankets were recommended twice as often and interfered less with patient Polar Air IIForced-air Cooling SystemPatient temperature management from a name you can trustDesigned in consultation with practitioners, nurses and technicians, the Polar Air II system combines the latest advance in patient temperature management safe, easy-to-use forced-air cooling therapy with the most effective patient warming technology available, forced-air easy to use, reliable Polar Air II unit uses proven thermoelectric technology to achieve rapid, accurate and easily controlled cooling.

9 Through the use of simple controls, the user can deliver cold air to patients at temperatures from ambient down to 10 C. To slowly rewarm patients, or maintain normothermia in those not requiring therapeutic hypothermia, the same unit can warm air from ambient temperature to a maximum of 43 C. Both warming and cooling therapies are applied through the use of the cost-effective Bair Hugger forced-air blankets already used in many C CCC5000 C Cools and warms: Use whenever patient warming or cooling is required. Works with all models of Bair Hugger blankets to meet each patient s therapy needs.

10 Effective: The proven effectiveness of Bair Hugger therapy and the latest advance in patient cooling offer a unique combination of temperature management tools. Easy to use: With the touch of a button, patient cooling or warming is available. Simply select the desired mode and set the control range. No specialised training is required. Streamlined: The Polar Air II system is designed for easy transport. The self-contained unit has no additional hoses, tubes or probes to locate. Fast: No complicated setup, so patient warming or cooling can begin quickly.
