Schematic drawing of the hemicraniectomy heat exchange model showing the outer layers consisting of scalp, skull, and CSF. Lack of the skull layer represents hemicraniectomy. Squiggle arrows represent conductive and convective surface heat loss. The difference between brain temperature (TBr) and core body temperature (TCore) is ΔTCore-Br. Arrows represent the direction of systemic blood circulation.
