Abstract
In the last few years, many reports of whole body hyperthermia treatment have appeared in literature. In most centres this is conducted under general anaesthesia, (1–6) others use a generalised sedation technique. (7–9) In depth studies of cardiovascular changes have been very few and far between and only two centres appear to have measured the cardiac output and pulmonary artery pressures. (4, 7) To date we have only found one group of investigators who have reported measurements of oxygen consumption. (13)
