Abstract: Hypothermia can have adverse effects on various systems of trauma patients, and significantly increase the mortality. All of the current rewarming equipments are contact rewarming equipment, which have the shortcomings of single function and poor effect. The medical staff of the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou designed a multi-functional infrared heating medical rewarming equipment, and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2018 2 1705172.9). By integrating the infrared heating lamp tube and the air heating device and controlling them independently, the equipment can not only treat the wound by infrared alone, but also keep the wound warm by using the air heating function at low room temperature. In addition, it can also warm the patients with hypothermia separately. The device's dual functions of promoting wound healing and rewarming by infrared therapy and wind-heating are accurate. It is easy to operate with good controllability, and contributes to individualized precision treatment, which is worthy of transformation and promotion.
