Abstract
A radiant heating unit for treating patients suffering from hypothermia is adapted to be used with a standard stretcher so that the patient may be moved into and removed from the device without moving the patient from one support surface to another. The unit includes an enclosure for defining a chamber into which the patient may be inserted. A guard is placed between the patient and the heated surfaces of the enclosure to protect the patient against direct contact with the heated surface of the enclosure.
