@entity1 @entity5 @entity26 @entity3575 @entity221
Therapeutic whole body @entity221 (WBH) as an additional therapy in the treatment of @entity5 has been known for a long time and is beginning to attain acceptance. In a clinical study 28 @entity1 were treated 70 times with WBH at a core temperature of 41.8 degrees C. @entity221 was induced and maintained with an extracorporal circuit (ECC). @entity1 were anaesthesized with nitrous @entity26 , enflurane and @entity3575 . Therefore artificial ventilation was mandatory. Invasive monitoring was used to control vital functions. The effect of WBH includes a rise in cardiac output and heart rate as well as a decrease in total vascular resistance and mean arterial pressure. Pulmonary function almost remains constant. A raised @entity26 consumption is compensated by a rise of @entity26 availability. In consequence of an augmented perspiratio insensibilis and the ECC, close observation of fluid and electrolyte balance is necessary. According to our experience the small number of complications and problems allows the treatment with WBH even of @entity1 with a high risk of anaesthesia.
