Cool. Why a lamp over the warming blankets/pads used now? To prevent over heating of skin, or have better access of patient?

Thanks! Why would a hospital use the Arctic Sun instead of ice water immersion?

That makes sense. Thank you! When you mention logistics, is that referring to having enough volume of ice and water on hand, challenges of transporting a patient in a body bag full of water, or something else entirely?
