1. A system comprising:
one or more pumps configured to pump blood in a fluid flow path at a collective rate between 4 and 7 liters per minute, wherein the blood was received from a patient with a core body temperature, as measured inside of the bladder, of between 42 and 43.2 degrees Celsius;
one or more heat exchangers coupled to the fluid flow path and operable to heat at least a portion of the blood to a temperature of between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius and operable to allow the blood to cool one or more degrees, following the heating of the blood to a temperature of between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius;
one or more albumin dialysis machines coupled to the fluid flow path and configured to perform albumin dialysis on at least a portion of the blood at least after the one or more heat exchangers allow the blood to cool one or more degrees; and
one or more oxygenators coupled to the fluid flow path and configured to remove carbon dioxide from at least a portion of the blood.
