We investigated effects of total body hyperthermia (TBH) on endocrine and hemodynamic responses. A total of five treatments were performed in five patients with gastric cancer under neuroleptanesthesia with morphine followed by 0.2 to 0.4% enflurane. TBH was extracorporeally induced with veno-venous shunt incorporating with heat exchanger to keep their temperature between 41.5 degrees C and 42.0 degrees C for three hours. The patients were administered angiotensin to maintain tumor blood flow. Lactated Ringer's solution was administered at the rate of 10 to 15 ml.kg-1.hr-1 for five hours. Plasma cortisol levels decreased significantly to about one third of the control value after heating and the levels recovered to the control value after cooling. Plasma norepinephrine level increased significantly to about 7 to 9 times the control value following TBH, but this hormonal response was insufficient to reveal marked direct hemodynamic effects. The magnitude of fall in SVR was more significant in spite of the administration of angiotensin. Cardiac index increased significantly to about 2.0 to 2.6 fold of control value, but mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) decreased significantly to about two thirds to four fifths of the control value. Morphine relieved the hormonal response in ACTH and cortisol strongly, but morphine suppressed hemodynamics by decreasing SVR. Neither norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerve endings nor even 50 to 200 ng.kg-1.min-1 of angiotensin administered failed to restore SVR or MAP during hyperthermia.
