A medical device for warming a patient. The medical device includes bed configured to support the patient thereon and a heater configured to produce heat for the patient when supported on the bed. A temperature sensor is configured to detect an ambient air temperature apart from the bed. A controller is provided in communication with the temperature sensor, where the controller produces a signal based on the ambient air temperature from the temperature sensor.

Methods systems and apparatus are set forth herein. There is provided in one embodiment determining one or more body physiological parameter of a patient based on one or more input; and controlling a heating system for warming the patient based on a result of the determining.

Various implementations include neonatal transport apparatuses and systems employing such apparatuses. In one particular implementation, an apparatus includes: an isolation stage; a first mount on a first portion of the isolation stage, the first mount configured to engage a mounting frame of a neonatal transport unit; a second mount on a second portion of the isolation stage, the second mount configured to engage a stretcher; and a stabilizing coupler extending from the second portion of the isolation stage, the stabilizing coupler positioned to directly couple the isolation stage with a floor underlying the stretcher.

The invention relates to an artificial womb system for supporting newborns, in particular extremely premature infants between the 21/0 and 28/0 week of pregnancy, comprising the following: a chamber (1) of the artificial womb, said chamber being formed by an at least partially ultrasound-permeable wall (2) and comprising a lumen (14) for maintaining a physiologically intraamnial pressure and for receiving the artificial amniotic fluid (15) and a newborn or a premature infant, at least one access for supplying the premature infant in the artificial womb with nutrients, a dialysis device (9), and an oxygenator (8) and/or a gassing device for supplying oxygen to the newborn or premature infant, wherein means are provided in order to maintain an intraamnial pressure of >0 mBar in the chamber (1) of the artificial womb, said pressure acting on the newborn, in addition to the atmospheric pressure.

A reconfigurable, foldable, and manually transportable infant radiant warmer. In a collapsed configuration, the warmer consumes a minimal amount of space and can be manually transported easily. In a deployed configuration, the warmer provides open access to an infant lying on a bed platform for receiving resuscitative therapy and warmth from a radiant heater disposed upon an adjacent mast. The reconfigurable infant radiant warmer includes mutually reconfigurable bed, mast, and suspension modules. The mast module and the suspension module may be selectively moved relative to the bed module to achieve the collapsed configuration.

The present invention relates to an incubator comprising: a main body part which has a space formed therein for accommodating an infant; supports of which the lower portions are connected to one side of the main body part; a hood driving part provided with one or more multi joint link units and pivotably coupled to the supports; a hood which is disposed above the main body part, and opens and closes the main body part by means of the operation of the hood driving part; and a heater which is mounted to the hood driving part and changes position so that a heat radiating part faces away from the main body part when the main body part is closed, and faces the main body part when the main body part is open. Thus, the present invention can be easily converted for use as a warmer.

A system for contactless monitoring of gas levels within an incubator, the system comprising at least one gas sampling line having a proximal end exposed to the internal space of the incubator, and a distal end associated with a monitoring unit for receiving a gas sample obtained from the incubator via the proximal end.
