Embodiment Construction

[0033] In the present invention, we recommend the use of infrared (IR) radiation light illumination devices designed so that only the patient's body is irradiated or illuminated. The heating of the patient caused by infrared light illumination is more uniform. Also, because IR light penetrates deeper into the skin, it produces a more gradual temperature profile than convective heating, so it heats more efficiently and results in a uniform body core temperature (optimally around 37.5°C). Since the IR radiation is better confined in the patient area and absorbed, the area around the patient is barely affected (thus, the surgical team is not affected by the IR radiation).

[0034] For example, in one embodiment, the IR radiation heating mechanism / light source is incorporated into the lighting system of the operating room. Using several IR light sources with adjustable intensities, a well-defined illuminated area and the intensity distribution in this area can be well defined. I...

Abstract

An infrared radiant heating system for raising or maintaining a uniform core temperature of a patient's body during a surgical procedure without substantially affecting the temperature of surrounding regions of said patient's body, the infrared radiant heating system comprising: an infrared radiant heating mechanism, in use, located in an inconspicuous location adjacent to the patient to provide radiant heat to the entire body of the patient or to one or more portions of the patient's body; and a control mechanism in communication with the heating mechanism for controlling the intensity level and intensity distribution of the radiant heat on the patient's body such that in use the skin temperature of the patient's body is raised or maintained within a predetermined range resulting in a uniform core body temperature without substantially Affecting the temperature of the area surrounding the patient's body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an infrared radiant heating system for raising or maintaining a balanced body temperature of a patient during a surgical procedure without substantially affecting the temperature of the surrounding area of ​​the patient's body. Background technique [0002] During a surgical procedure in an operating room, which can typically last several hours, the temperature is usually set at a level that is comfortable for the surgeon, usually around 20 degrees Celsius. However, this temperature is too low for the patient to be desirable for a number of reasons. First, during surgery, the interior of the patient's body portion at the surgical site is open and exposed, thereby losing body heat to the environment and causing a decrease in the patient's body temperature. Second, the patient is not covered with thick clothing because it would prevent the doctor from successfully performing the surgical procedure, which also causes the...
