The authors describe an inflatable bath which can be used rapidly and safely, with a minimum of patient manipulation, for external cooling of hyperthermic patients or in the elective induction of hypothermia. This device permits ready access to the patient so that monitoring and treatment can be carried on while cooling is in progress and is particularly adopted to use in the operating room.
