In this study, we investigated the effect of rapid cooling using ice slurry on the metabolic activity of biological tissue by a numerical simulation. In this study, we simulated the melting heat transfer of ice slurries being placed on the biological tissue. We examined the optimum cooling method by changing the IPF (ice packing factor) and amount of ice slurry. As a result, rapid cooling using ice slurry is effective in preventing ischemic damage due to ischemia during surgery, and it suggested that there is a thermally optimal amount of ice slurry and IPF depending on the purpose.
