Abstract
A device for warming a human body. The device is a gown () that has a thorax portion () and a leg portion (). One embodiment prevents redistribution hypothermia with a distributor () attached to the inside of the leg portion (). The sleeves (), leg portion (), and posterior of the gown () are heat reflective. The anterior of the thorax portion () of the gown is non-reflective. The distributor () inflates when heated air is supplied and exhausts air into the gown (). Temperature is maintained at a desired level for the extremities, while preventing the thorax area from being elevated to an uncomfortable level. Another embodiment is a perioperative warming device. The device is a gown () that has a thorax portion () and a leg portion (). Each portion has an independent air chamber and inlet. The two portions are releasably connected. The sleeves (), leg portion (), and anterior of the gown () are heat reflective.
