Determining a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of a patient using a temperature management system

A temperature management system for controlling a temperature of a body of a patient and for determining a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient, the system comprising:

• a heat exchange system comprising a heat exchange device and an extracorporeal control console, the heat exchange system configured to exchange heat with the body of the patient and to record operational data while controlling the temperature of the body of the patient;
• a user interface configured to receive user input and emit at least one of a visual alert and audible alert;
• and
• a processor, a memory storing instructions, and associated circuitry communicatively coupled to the heat exchange device, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a value of a first type of operational data of a plurality of types of the operational data;
• receive a value of a second type of operational data of the plurality of types of the operational data;
• determine that a relationship between the value of the first type of the operational data and the value of the second type of the operational data is satisfied;
• determine a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient corresponding to the relationship that is satisfied;
• and
• generate, based on the value, an alert through the user interface indicating the thermoregulatory activity of the patient.

• a heat exchange system comprising a heat exchange device and an extracorporeal control console, the heat exchange system configured to exchange heat with the body of the patient and to record operational data representing operation of the heat exchange device while controlling the temperature of the body of the patient;
• a user interface configured to receive user input and emit at least one of a visual alert and audible alert;
• and
• a processor, a memory storing instructions, and associated circuitry communicatively coupled to the heat exchange system, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive the operational data;
• determine a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient corresponding to the of the operational data;
• and
• in response to determining the value, cause a therapeutic response by the heat exchange system or an additional device or system for treating the thermoregulatory activity of the patient.

A method for controlling a temperature of a body of a patient and for determining a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, temperature data from a sensor indicative of the temperature of the body of the patient;
• controlling, by the processor based on the temperature data, a heat exchange system to maintain the temperature of the body of the patient within a target temperature range, the heat exchange system being configured to exchange heat with the body of the patient and to record operational data representing operation of the heat exchange system while controlling the temperature of the body of the patient;
• receiving, by the processor in response to the controlling, the operational data;
• determine, based on the temperature data and the operational data, a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient;
• and
• generating, by the processor, an alert indicating the thermoregulatory activity of the patient.

A method for controlling a temperature of a body of a patient and for determining a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient, the method comprising:
