Patient thermal regulation systems and methods

A patient thermal regulation system comprising:

• a patient warming device comprising an air-impermeable enclosure, an air inlet configured to be coupled to a warm air blower, and an air outlet, wherein the air-impermeable enclosure comprises air-impermeable flexible walls and a baffle defining a circuitous airflow pathway through the patient warming device from the air inlet to the air outlet, wherein the air outlet comprises a conduit coupled to the flexible walls;
• and
• a sensor mounting assembly coupled to the patient warming device and configured to receive a distal end portion of a thermal sensor for monitoring a temperature of the patient warming device, wherein the sensor mounting assembly comprises an access portal formed within a wall of the conduit, the access portal being configured for insertion of the distal end portion of the thermal sensor in an interior space of the conduit;
• wherein the patient warming device is configured to be positioned adjacent a patient while allowing thermally controlled air to flow in through the air inlet, along the airflow pathway through the enclosure, and out through the air outlet, such that heat is transferred to the patient through one of the air-impermeable flexible walls that is adjacent the patient.
