1. A system for providing optimized patient temperature control, comprising:

  • a plurality of patient temperature control systems, where each patient temperature control system in the plurality of patient temperature control systems is connectable to at least one heat exchange device and is configured to control heat exchange in a different region of a patient;

    a central controller configured to receive signals for measured temperatures relating to patient condition from a plurality of patient temperature sensors, said controller further configured to generate and transmit control signals to the plurality of patient temperature control systems so as to simultaneously control the plurality of patient temperature control systems based on at least one of;

    the received signal for measured temperature relating to patient condition, programming provided for controlling operation of the plurality of patient temperature control systems, and manually inputted commands from a system operator; and

    said plurality of temperature control systems each further configured to receive the control signals and in response control the at least one heat exchange device connectable thereto.
