Disclosed herein is a system including a patient support unit having an enclosed patient environment, a heating module, a skin temperature sensor module, an environmental sensor module and a control system. The control system is configured to selectively operate the system in a pre-programmed weaning mode configured to gradually wean the patient from the warmed patient environment according to a series of stepped air temperature decreases performed over a series of stepped time durations to achieve a goal air temperature while maintaining a goal skin temperature within a weaning abort deviation. Related apparatus, systems, methods and/or articles are described.
