The influence of total body hyperthermia (TBHT) on normal brain tissue was studied in 40 dogs. The dogs were anesthetized with sodium thiopental (10 mg/kg/hr) intravenously, and were ventilated by artificial respirator. The TBHT was induced by extracorporeal circuit in cooperating a heat exchanger. Rectal temperature was raised to 41.5 degrees C and maintained at 41. 5 -42.0 degrees C for 2 hr (HT period) and was then fallen to normothermia by cooling, Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured by hydrogen clearance method before heating, during and after TBHT treatment. Brain temperature, rectal temperature, intracranial pressure (ICP), brain tissue pH and electroencephalography (EEG) were monitored continuously during TBHT. Histopathological changes of the brain tissue were studied in dogs killed just after TBHT and 2 weeks after TBHT. Autoregulation of the CBF during HT period was assessed by measuring the regional CBF and the ICP at a state of induced hypo- or hypertension. The brain temperature (at the depth of 5mm under the brain surface) was usually 0.6 degrees C lower than the rectal temperature during HT period. The regional CBF increased from 38.1 +/- 6.5 (mean +/- SD) to 49.1 +/- 9.8ml/100 g/min by raising rectal temperature, and it recovered to a normal value after cooling. The ICP increased from 10.3 +/- 4.2 to 16.8 +/- 3.4 mmHg by raising rectal temperature, and it returned to a normal value after cooling. Brain tissue pH decreased from 7.33 +/- 0.02 to 7.17 +/- 0.09 rapidly when the rectal temperature reached 41.0 degrees C, and then returned to a normal value gradually after the start of cooling.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
