EFFECTS OF EXPOSURES TO EXTREMELY HOT ENVIRONMENTS ON TEMPERATURES OF THE TYMPANIC MEMBRANE, THE OESOPHAGUS, AND THE RECTUM OF MEN.

Abstract

The oesophageal, tympanic, and rectal temperatures of resting nude human subjects were investigated in extremely hot thermal environments ranging from 50 to 130 C. Changes in temperatures in the oesophagus and at the tympanic membrane appeared rapidly, were linear, and were of equal magnitude. They were considered to follow closely the blood temperature in the central circulation. The simultaneous changes in the rectal temperature were slow and irregular. (Author)
