Abstract
Described herein is a system including a patient support unit having a patient environment, a heating module, a sensor module, and a control system. The control system is configured to selectively operate the system in a pre-programmed cooling mode configured to disable the heating module while monitoring patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module. Related apparatus, systems, methods and/or articles are described.
Claims32
A system, comprising:
- a patient support unit having a patient environment;
- a heating module comprising a heater 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 disable the heating module while monitoring the patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module.

A method, comprising:
- supporting a patient in a patient environment of an incubator, wherein the incubator comprises:
- a heating module comprising a heater 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 display, 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;
- receiving a command by the control system to operate in a pre-programmed cooling mode configured to disable the heating module while monitoring the patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module;
- and
- automatically monitoring the patient-specific data of the patient using the sensor module.
