  • Publication number: 20230035020
    Abstract: A heating system comprises a wearable sleeve, a first heating pad associated with a first portion of the wearable sleeve, a second heating pad associated with a second portion of the wearable sleeve, one or more temperature sensors associated with the wearable sleeve, and control circuitry communicatively coupled to the first heating pad, the second heating pad, and the one or more temperature sensors. The control circuitry is configured to receive one or more temperature signals from the one or more temperature sensors, determine a temperature associated with a patient based on the one or more temperature signals, determine that the temperature is less than a target temperature value, and at least partly in response to said determining that the temperature is less than the target temperature value, activate at least one of the first heating pad or the second heating pad.

  • Publication number: 20220087860
    Abstract: A method for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may involve delivering heat to a first location on a limb of the patient, delivering heat to a second location on the limb, apart from the first location, and applying intermittent compression to a third location on the limb, located between the first location and the second location. A device for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may include a sleeve for positioning over at least part of one of the patient's limbs, first and second heat delivery members coupled with the sleeve, and an intermittent compression member coupled with the sleeve between the first and second heat delivery members.

  • Publication number: 20200245950
    Abstract: Determining a patient's risk of hypothermia involves receiving a first input from a sleeve administered to a patient, receiving a second input, determine a first risk value based at least in part on the first input, determining a second risk value based at least in part on the second input, determining a first relative risk value of the first risk value based at least in part on comparing the first risk value to the second risk value, determining a second relative risk value of the second risk value based at least in part on comparing the first risk value to the second risk value, and performing a risk calculation to generate a risk score for the patient.
