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.

Warming therapy patient care units with automated warm-up modes

A system includes a patient support unit having an enclosed patient environment, a heating module, a skin temperature sensor module, an environmental sensor module, and a control system. The control system is configured to selectively operate the system in a pre-programmed weaning mode configured to gradually wean the patient from the warmed patient environment series of stepped air temperature decreases performed over a series of stepped time durations achieves a goal air temperature while maintaining a goal skin temperature within a weaning abort deviation.

Warming therapy patient care units with automated weaning modes

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 cooling mode configured to disable the heating module while monitoring patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module. Related apparatus, systems, methods and/or articles are described.

Warming therapy patient care units with automated cooling modes

A thermotherapy device () includes a basic housing () with walls () with a support for a patient and an especially transparent covering hood () for the basic housing (), which covering hood can be moved between a closed position and an open position, so that the basic housing () is closed by the covering hood () in the closed position. A guide mechanism () is provided for mechanically guiding the motion of the covering hood () 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 () is moved in a simple manner and access to the support for a patient is essentially not hindered by the covering hood () in the open position. The patient is kept warm essentially by a radiant heater when the covering hood () is opened and by the convection heater when the covering hood () is closed. The covering hood () may be irradiated by the radiant heater and protected from condensation. A center of gravity () of the covering hood () lying in its horizontal direction is at the rear fifth of the basic housing () or behind the basic housing () in the open position of the covering hood ().

Thermotheraphy device

An apparatus and method for controlling a warming therapy device (e.g., incubator, warmer, etc.) is described. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) coupled to the warming therapy device for monitoring patient medical information, and for controlling various aspects of the warming therapy device accordingly.
