Patent number: 10780005Abstract: Described herein is a system including a patient support unit having a patient environment, a heating module, a sensor module, and a control system. The control system is configured to selectively operate the system in a pre-programmed warm-up mode configured to gradually warm the patient in the patient environment according to a series of stepped skin temperature increases performed over a series of stepped time durations to achieve a goal skin temperature. Related apparatus, system, methods and/or articles are described.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaAInventors: Ulf Timme, Harald Kneuer, Philip Moehring

Patent number: 9333141Abstract: A thermotherapy device (1) includes a basic housing (2) with walls (14) with a support for a patient and an especially transparent covering hood (3) for the basic housing (2), which covering hood can be moved between a closed position and an open position, so that the basic housing (2) is closed by the covering hood (3) in the closed position. A guide mechanism (4) is provided for mechanically guiding the motion of the covering hood (3) between the closed position and open position. A heater such as a convection heater with a blower heats the air and/or an air humidifier humidifies the air. The covering hood (3) is moved in a simple manner and access to the support for a patient is essentially not hindered by the covering hood (3) in the open position. The patient is kept warm essentially by a radiant heater when the covering hood (3) is opened and by the convection heater when the covering hood (3) is closed. The covering hood (3) may be irradiated by the radiant heater and protected from condensation.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaAInventors: Jochim Koch, Philip Möhring, Harald Kneuer

Publication number: 20160113559Abstract: A blood oxygen graph (200) that specifies blood oxygen level ranges varying over a span of time is displayed within a graphical user interface. Data from at least one physiological sensor is received that includes a current blood oxygen level (230) of a patient and a time point (260) associated with the measurement. Using the received data, the current blood oxygen level for the patient overlaid on the blood oxygen graph at the time point is displayed in the graphical user interface. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2013Publication date: April 28, 2016Inventors: Robert Michael Lynch, Harald Kneuer, Merouane Djerbal, Ali Pourrad, Steffen Schmitt
