A cooling system for cooling a person in a supine position as part of a clinical treatment includes an air blower, a heat exchanger, an inflatable mattress and a cooling jacket or overlay. Air from the blower is cooled by contact with the heat exchanger, passed through the jacket or overlay and through the mattress in order to rapidly cool the person so as to achieve mild hypothermia.

A terminal block as recited in claim 8, wherein said means operatively associated with the terminal block for securing the elongated member within a recessed channel includes a plurality of locations for communicating information relating to the media associated with the terminal block.10. A terminal block as recited in claim 9, wherein the locations include slots for securing labels thereon.11. A terminal block as recited in claim 8, wherein the elongated member is fabricated of a dielectric material.12. A method for identifying media associated with a terminal block, comprising the steps of: (a) positioning an elongated member within a recessed channel defined by longitudinally aligned terminal rows on the terminal block, wherein the elongated member defines a plurality of locations for communicating information relating to the media associated with the terminal block; and (b) detachably securing first and second retaining members at opposite ends of said terminal block, said first and second retaining members each having a body portion that defines: (i) an upper surface for receiving a label, (ii) at least one outer engagement slot, and (iii) a deflectable latch mechanism that cooperates with a downwardly extending support beam, and wherein said upper label-receiving surface defined on said body portion is positioned outside said recessed channel of said terminal block; and (c) securing the elongated member within the recessed channel by attaching said elongated member to said first and second retaining members. 13. A method according to claim 12, further comprising the step of: (d) affixing labels to the elongated member.
