COOLING VEST SYSTEM TO ASSIST REGULATION OF CORE BODY TEMPERATURE

Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Body Area Networks, 2013
Body area networks can be utilized to monitor and maintain core body temperature for individuals with impaired thermoregulation. An imbalance between heat gain and dissipation may lead to higher core body temperature. Heat stress caused by abnormally high body temperature increases the risk of heat stroke that may lead to tissue damage, neuronal ...

Should Cooling Vests Be Used to Treat Exertional Heatstroke? A Critically Appraised Topic

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2017
Clinical Scenario:Exercise performed in hot and humid environments increases core body temperature (TC). If TC exceeds 40.5°C for prolonged periods of time, exertional heat stroke (EHS) may occur. EHS is a leading cause of sudden death in athletes. Mortality and morbidity increase the longer the patient’s TC remains above 40.5°C; thus, it is imperative

Evaluating the usability of a commercial cooling vest in the Hong Kong industries

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2017
The provision of appropriate personal cooling vests is recognized as an effective measure to combat heat stress. However, personal cooling vests are not widely implemented in the Hong Kong industries. The current study aims to evaluate the usability of a hybrid cooling vest that is associated with the success of its application in industrial settings.A

Evaluation on Thermal Adjusting Effect of PCM Cooling Vest by Thermal Manikin

Advanced Materials Research, 2011
Abstract. In this paper the hot steel work environment is simulated and a thermal manikin is utilized to evaluate the thermal adjusting effect of a cooling vest incorporated with PCM packs of gel. Two control modes of the thermal manikin, the constant energy input mode and the constant skin temperature mode are used respectively to evaluate the cooling

Auxiliary cooling: comparison of air-cooled vs. water-cooled vests in hot-dry and hot-wet environments.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1983
Water-cooled, air-cooled, and ambient air-ventilated auxiliary cooling vests were evaluated in a hot-wet climate (HW) (35 degrees C, 75% R.H.) and a hot-dry environment (HD) with additional infrared radiation (Ta = 49 degrees C, 20% R.H., 68 degrees C black globe temperature).

The Effects of a Palm Cooling Device and a Cooling Vest During Simulated Pilot Heat Stress

2007
Abstract : A cooling vest (CV) and a Rapid Thermal Exchange (RTX(Registered)) hand cooling device were tested in a thermal chamber simulating aircrew pre-flight walk around at 95 F. Physiologic cooling protection, cognitive performance and mood changes were studied. Twelve male subjects were tested.
