1. A stabilization and cooling apparatus comprising: a stabilizing structure including at least one inflatable chamber, the stabilizing structure configured to become semi-rigid upon inflation of the at least one inflatable chamber, wherein the stabilizing structure is semi-rigid to prevent movement of an injured joint of a patient; a cooling structure integrated with the stabilizing structure including a single-use cooling element and a thermally conductive material in thermal communication with the single-use cooling element; a container holding a reactant; and an actuator configured to cause the inflation of the at least one inflatable chamber, to initiate cooling by the single-use cooling element, and to open a pressurized gas source; wherein opening the pressurized gas source causes the reactant to be directed from the container to the single-use cooling element through a first valve; wherein gas from the pressurized gas source causes the inflation of the at least one inflatable chamber through a second valve, following the reactant being directed to the single-use cooling element through the first valve.
