A patient is cooled in the thermosuit Monday, Nov. 11, 2008 at Ochsner Hospital in Jefferson, La., a suburb of New Orleans. A pump rapidly inflates it as doctors Velcro on a plastic topsheet. Tubes spray naked patients with frigid water as other tubes drain it away, taking heat from the patient's skin with it.
