U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/653,825, filed Dec. 21, 2009, titled �Warming Device Constructions with a Poncho-Type Patient Gown�.
BACKGROUND A warming device that may be used perioperatively includes a clinical garment and convective apparatus with multiple separately-inflatable sections supported on the inside of the garment, each section adapted to enable a particular mode of warming.
Convective devices that transfer heat to a human body are known. For example, there are devices that receive a stream of warmed pressurized air, inflate in response to the pressurized air, distribute it within a pneumatic structure, and emit the warmed air onto a body. These devices are typically called �thermal blankets�, �convective thermal blankets� or �covers�. Arizant Healthcare Inc., the assignee of this application, makes and sells such thermal blankets under the BAIR HUGGER� brand. One such device is the Model 522 Upper Body Blanket.
According to Mahoney et al. (Maintaining intraoperative normothermia: A meta-analysis of outcomes with costs. AANA Journal. 4/99; 67, 2:155-164.), therapeutic warming is employed during at least the intraoperative period in order to prevent or mitigate hypothermia. In fact, it is increasingly manifest that maintenance of normothermia perioperatively enhances the prospects for a quick, successful recovery from surgery. The effectiveness of therapeutic warming depends upon delivery of enough heat to a patient's body to raise the patient's core body temperature to, or maintain it within, a narrow range, typically around 37� C. This range is called �normothermic� and a body with a core temperature in this range is at �normothermia.� Hypothermia occurs when the core body temperature falls below 36� C.; mild hypothermia occurs when core body temperature is in the range of 34� C. to 36� C. Therefore, �perioperative therapeutic warming� is warming therapy capable of being delivered during one or more of the perioperative periods for the prevention or treatment of hypothermia.
SUMMARY In one aspect, a warming device capable of being used perioperatively includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus with multiple separately inflatable sections. At least one section is adapted for comfort warming and at least another section is adapted for therapeutic warming.
A convective apparatus 100 with separately inflatable sections 101 and 102 is illustrated in FIG. 6A. In the convective apparatus shown in FIG. 6A, the section 101 has an inlet port 104, an elongate central part 106, and upper and lower transverse parts 107 and 108 that connect perpendicularly to the central part 106. The ends of the upper and lower transverse parts 107 and 108 are rounded, so that, in the plan view of FIG. 6A, the section 101 has a �dog bone� shape. Although one inlet port 104 is illustrated in the section 101, one or more additional inlet ports may be provided for convenience. Unused inlet ports are sealed or closed by known means to prevent air escaping therethrough. Preferably the inlet port 104 is provided through the surface of the convective apparatus 100 which is not visible in this figure. The inlet port 104 may comprise a collar 104 a of stiff material with an opening 104 b to receive the nozzle of an air hose, or it may comprise a sleeve of material, or any other equivalent structure. The space in the central part 106 is in fluid communication with the spaces in the transverse parts 107 and 108 so that pressurized air flowing through the inlet port 104 flows throughout the parts 106-108, thereby inflating the first section 101. The surface 109 of the section 101 which is visible in FIG. 6A, including the surfaces of the parts 106-108, is permeable, permitting pressurized air that is flowing into and inflating the first section 101 to be expelled toward the interior of the clinical garment 13. In some aspects of the first section 101, the permeability of the surfaces of the parts 106-108 may vary in order to reduce or eliminate variances in temperature of air expelled through the permeable surface 109 of the section 101.
