Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a warming system. The warming system includes a light device having a light source configured to be positioned proximate to a patient support having a patient support surface. The light source can also be configured to generate infrared radiation. The warming system can also include a flexible sheet having a first side configured to reflect at least some of the generated infrared radiation from the light device toward a portion of the patient support surface.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a convective blanket that includes an air permeable upper sheet having a periphery. The convective blanket includes a lower sheet bonded to the upper sheet with a peripheral seal proximate to the periphery of the upper sheet to form an interior space therein between the upper and lower sheets. The convective blanket includes a wing portion partially surrounded by a portion of the peripheral seal and a body portion. Additional aspects relate to a system including the convective blanket and a method that uses the convective blanket.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sectional warming blanket for patient warming having a structure comprising a first layer of material forming a bottom layer with openings to allow a profusion of air through the bottom layer, a second layer of material forming an upper layer wherein the upper layer is coupled to the bottom layer via a plurality of seals to form a plurality of interconnected air passageways, and an inlet located on the upper or bottom layers. In an embodiment, the sectional warming blanket further comprises an opening configured to receive a coupling device for coupling the sectional warming blanket to an additional sectional warming blanket. In another embodiment, the sectional warming blanket further comprises at least one outline formed from a portion of the structure, such that a section can be removed from the blanket and the blanket is re-sealed by a bonding mechanism along its periphery.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclose related to a system. The system includes a warming device having at least a first zone and a second zone and a sensor. The system also includes a controller that includes one or more processor circuits configured to receive a first sensor reading from the sensor corresponding to a first zone, wherein the first sensor reading corresponds to a first heat transfer rate. The one or more processor circuits are configured to determine whether the sensor reading is sufficient and increase a first heat transfer rate to a second heat transfer rate in the first zone in response to the sensor reading being insufficient.
