Abstract
A fluid circuit for circulating coolant in a closed loop between an intravascular catheter and a heat exchange system includes a buffer IV bag in fluid flow series with the catheter between the catheter and a pump that pumps the coolant to the heat exchange system. A conventional IV bag is connected by means of a spike and tube to the buffer bag.
