1. A system for extracorporeal blood temperature control, comprising:
a heat exchanger for at least cooling a fluid;
a thermal exchange module having a first volume and a second volume fluidly isolated from one another;
a fluid pump for circulating the fluid through the heat exchanger and the first volume of the thermal exchange module, wherein operation of the fluid pump establishes a negative pressure within the first volume of the thermal exchange module;
a blood pump for flowing blood through a first blood flow line, the second volume of the thermal exchange module, and a second blood flow line; and,
a first controller for providing output signals for use in operation of at least the heat exchanger to selectively control thermal exchange between the fluid circulated through the first volume of the thermal exchange module and the blood flowed through the second volume of the thermal exchange module and thereby provide for at least selective cooling of the flowed blood.
