Heating system for patient thermal management

A heating system for an animal being treated by a veterinarian including;

• an operating table for accommodating an animal to be treated;
• a covering for the animal comprised of electrifiable fabric that is responsive to electrical input for increasing and decreasing the heat generated by the covering;
• a source of electricity and a multi-segment conductor and control for conducting electricity from the source to the covering and defining a path of conduction;
• a first segment conducting said electricity from the source to a dual component controller including a first component that receives and then transmits electrical current to the covering;
• a second component electrically connected to the first component and independently located out of the path of conduction for convenient location relative to the veterinarian, said second component including controls for controlling the degree of electrical power being conveyed to the covering.

A system for generating heat to a covering comprising:

• a power source;
• a conductor segment conducting electricity from said power source to a breakout member whereat dual conductor segments, including conductive wires that are bundled in the conductor segments, extend independently to a control member and to an electrifiable warming covering;
• said electricity as extended to said covering being manipulable to desirably increase and decrease the temperature of said covering;
• said control member including a pulse width modulator that enables the setting of a ratio that is readable by the control member whereby increasing and decreasing of the covering temperature is enabled with minimum wires in the conductor segments, and is insensitive to supply voltage variances from the nominal voltage.
