Summary A blood‐warming coil immersed in ice‐slush rapidly lowers the temperature of normal saline and allows it to be used to cool a kidney to the range of hypothermia which protects it from the effects of ischaemia. This simple method of hypothermia has been shown to be effective in operations on 9 kidneys.
