Claim:
1. A system comprising: a patient support unit having a patient environment; a heating module comprising a heater, one or more heater-related alarms configured to sound when a sensed heater condition falls outside of a programmed range, and a heating module controller operatively coupled to the heater, wherein the heater is configured to warm the patient environment; a sensor module comprising one or more sensors and one or more controllers operatively coupled to the one or more sensors and to the heating module, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to measure patient-specific data of a patient in the patient environment; and a control system comprising at least one processor, at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and including at least one program stored thereon, and at least one input interface, wherein the control system is configured to selectively operate the system in a pre-programmed cooling mode configured to (i) automatically disable the heating module by switching it off and to disable one or more heater related controls while monitoring the patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module and (ii) automatically disable the heater-related alarms when the system is selected to operate in the pre-programmed cooling mode, wherein the control system operates in the pre-programmed cooling mode until a user selection is received by the control system to exit the pre-programmed cooling mode.
