A medical, electrically powered thermal cover for fitting predominantly the trunk and head of a person experiencing or potentially experiencing traumatic or cold-exposure hypothermia. The thermal cover encases all of the torso and neck, and portions of other body areas. Heating may be distinctly non-uniform, being applied to the body surface only in special regions where the body's capacity for heat uptake may be relatively high. In sum, the system may monitor deep body core temperature, direct heat to the body core where it may be most needed, and controls therapy over time to restore normothermia.

L'invention concerne une couverture thermique médicale alimentée en électricité permettant de s'ajuster principalement au tronc et à la tête d'une personne souffrant ou susceptible de souffrir d'une hypothermie traumatique ou d'exposition au froid. Cette couverture thermique enveloppe tout le torse et le cou, et des parties d'autres zones du corps. Le chauffage peut être distinctement non-uniforme en étant appliqué à la surface du corps seulement dans certaines zones où la capacité d'absorption de la chaleur du corps peut être relativement importante. Enfin, le système permet de surveiller la température centrale du corps en profondeur, diriger la chaleur au centre du corps où son besoin est le plus important, et commander le traitement dans le temps pour restaurer la normothermie.
