Integrated operating room lighting and patient warming system—design and components

A patient warming system for stabilizing and/or heating and cooling a patient, comprising:

• a plurality of solid-surface sections arranged for attachment to a surgical table, that form a solid-surface layer, wherein at least one of the plurality of solid-surface sections comprises a power connector for connection to an external power source;
• and
• a warming pad layer comprising a plurality of warming pads configured for removable connection to the plurality of solid-surface sections, wherein each warming pad of the plurality of warming pads comprises:
• a foam insulation layer;
• a distributed heating element layer having a warming-pad power connection for connection to the power connector;
• an isothermal layer for maintaining uniform temperature across a surface area of the warming pad;
• and
• a flexible waterproof layer that covers the foam insulation layer, distributed heating element layer, and isothermal layer, wherein power supplied to the warming-pad power connection of the distributed heating element layer of the respective warming pad is used to provide a user-selected uniform temperature over the surface of the flexible waterproof layer in order to prevent hot spots.
