| Abstract;In a patient with hyperthermia, it is important to cool down the body temperature (BT) as quickly as possible. In two patients with hyperthermia, we used an extra-corporeal circulation to cool down the patient's BT. We inserted a double lumen catheter into the femoral vein, and connected it to an extension line for blood transfusion and a warmer coil. The warmer coil was then sunk in ice and water. A blood transfusion pump (flow rate 99ml/min) was used for extracorporeal circulation. In one patient with heat stroke, we could lower the patient's BT from 40.7.DEG.C. to 38.5.DEG.C. within 30 minutes (-0.073.DEG.C./min). In another patient with hyperthermia caused by drug intoxication, we could lower the patient's BT from 41.0.DEG.C. to 37.5.DEG.C. in 127 minutes (-0.028.DEG.C./min). This system was useful because we could set it up within 2-3 minutes without difficulty, and start cooling the patient immediately. (author abst.) |
