Hilotherapy
Hilotherapy is a continuous-flow therapy that may be used as thermotherapy for warming or as cryotherapy for cooling. A device (Hilotherm) provides exactly the selected temperature between 10°C and 38°C. This temperature is applied to the patient by face masks or body cuffs. ==Most common application== Hilotherapy is a form of cryotherapy, which is a widely used method to treat patients after surgeries or injuries. It is applied to stop bleeding (through vasoconstriction) and avoid swelling, hematoma, and pain.〔Schröder D., Pässler H.H., Combination of cold and compression after knee surgery. Knee Surg, Sports Traumatol, Arthroscopy (1994)〕〔Schaubel HJ: The local use of ice after orthopaedic procedures. American Journal of Surgery 72: 711 – 714, 1946〕〔Use of Cryotherapy for Orthopaedic Patients; McDowell, J.H., McFarland E.G., Jermier Nalli B. Orthopaedic Nursing, 1994, Volume 13, No. 5, pp.21–30〕 However, there are also negative effects of cryotherapy when treatment temperatures are too low. Those are: frostbite (), reactive hyperaemia (increased bleeding) (9, 10 ), increased swelling (with 5°C to 15°C tissue temperature) (12, 13 ), and nerve palsy (14, 15, 16 ).
