A method for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may involve delivering heat to a first location on a limb of the patient, delivering heat to a second location on the limb, apart from the first location, and applying intermittent compression to a third location on the limb, located between the first location and the second location. A device for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may include a sleeve for positioning over at least part of one of the patient's limbs, first and second heat delivery members coupled with the sleeve, and an intermittent compression member coupled with the sleeve between the first and second heat delivery members.

1. A method for maintaining or increasing core body temperature of a patient, the method comprising: placing a first body interface member comprising a first electrical thermal energy transfer member over a knee on a lower limb of the patient, such that a position of the first electrical thermal energy transfer member is limited to a popliteal fossa on a posterior aspect of the knee;placing a second body interface member comprising a second electrical thermal energy transfer member over a foot of the lower limb, such that the second electrical thermal energy transfer member extends over a sole on a bottom surface of the foot of the lower limb;placing a third body interface member comprising at least one intermittent compression inflatable bladder in an intermediate location on the lower limb between the first and second body interface members, such that the at least one intermittent compression inflatable bladder is spaced apart from the first electrical thermal energy transfer member and the second electrical thermal energy transfer member;delivering heat to the popliteal fossa with the first electrical thermal energy transfer member, the heat delivery by the first electrical thermal energy transfer member being limited to the popliteal fossa;delivering heat to the sole of the foot with the second electrical thermal energy transfer member, the heat delivery by the second electrical thermal energy transfer member being limited to the sole of the foot; andapplying intermittent compression and not heat to the intermediate location on the limb with the at least one intermittent compression inflatable bladder, wherein intermittent compression is applied to the lower limb only by the at least one intermittent compression inflatable bladder,wherein delivering heat to the popliteal fossa and the sole of the foot and applying intermittent compression to the intermediate location maintains or increases the core body temperature of the patient. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the heat is delivered to the popliteal fossa and the sole of the foot at the same time, and wherein the intermittent compression is applied to the intermediate location at the same time that the heat is delivered. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the heat and compression are delivered and applied at at least two different starting times and for at least two different lengths of time. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising measuring at least one of a temperature of the patient, a temperature of at least one of the body interface members, or an amount of compression applied to the patient, using a measurement device on at least one of the first body interface member, the second body interface member or the third body interface member. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising adjusting at least one of the heat delivery or the intermittent compression, based on the measurement. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first, second and third body interface members are combined in one sleeve. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the heat delivery and compression application steps are performed during at least one time period selected from the group consisting of before a surgical procedure is performed on the patient, during performance of the surgical procedure on the patient, and after performance of the surgical procedure on the patient. 8. A method as in claim 1, wherein the patient has a condition selected from the group consisting of lymphedema, deep vein thrombosis, peripheral artery disease, muscular conditions or disorders, and a heightened risk of any of these conditions.
