Development of body temperature control device available under stoppage of infrastructure

本研究旨在获得基础知识，以开发在基础设施停止（即不需要能量或最低能量的设备）下可用的体温控制装置。结果;东日本大地震后，宫城县的大多数低温住院病人的体温都在32摄氏度或更高，他们主要是用毯子取暖。他们的结果是有利的。这表明，这种新设备可以在医院外对他们进行治疗，并可能减少灾害医疗早期住院病人的数量。基于这些知识，我们建立了两个实验系统，保温系统和冷却系统，我们已经开始用这些模型进行实验，以开发新设备。

This study was aimed to gain basic knowledge to develop body temperature control device available under the stoppage of infrastructure (i.e., device that need no energy or minimum energy). Results; Most hypothermic inpatients in Miyagi Prefecture after the Great East Japan Earthquake had a temperature of 32 degree Celsius or higher, and were rewarmed primarily by using blankets. Their outcomes were favorable. These indicated that the new device can treat them outside hospitals and may reduce the number of inpatients in the early stage of disaster medical care. Based on this knowledge, we build two experimental systems, thermo-keeping system and cooling system, and we have started experiment with these models for development of the new device.
