Abstract: A system and method for maintaining a patient's body temperature during and after surgical exposure is provided. A surgical, insulative cap both aids in maintaining the patient's core body temperature at an euthermic range and further incorporates a graphic display panel for providing a remote caregiver informational interface. Vital signs sensors may therefor communicate, either directly or remotely, to said informational interface and allow access to vital signs information to the caregiver in a convenient manner that does not require diversion of attention from the patient in order to monitor.

Abstract: A hyperthermia headgear liner is provided comprised of an insulative material constructed to minimize exposures to fibrous materials an remove any habitat for bacterial growth. The cap extends over a greater portion of a wearer's forehead, over the wearer's ears and behind the head to reach as far as the top of the cervical spine. Lining the upper portion of the inner shell are a plurality of linearly aligned pockets formed of an open weave of mesh fabric. Each individual pocket contains and secures a cooling element formed of a phase change material. The cooling elements are removable and replaceable and are positioned along the midline of the head covering in a manner that form fittingly curves with the contour of the wearers head.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a device and a method that maintains a patient's body temperature during surgical exposure and, more specifically, to a surgical, insulative cap that forms a viewing window and is used in conjunction with a medical temperature trend indicator. The cap is contoured to the patient's head. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a device and a method that maintains an individual's body temperature during exposure to cold conditions or cold water and, more specifically, to an insulative rescue cap that clearly provides instructions and teachings of how to correctly perform emergency medical procedures, namely CPR. The cap is contoured to the individual's head.
