| Research Abstract |
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.
