ABSTRACT

This chapter explores nursing techniques in whole-body infrared hyperthermia; nursing techniques in local or regional hyperthermia and out-of-body radio frequency local hyperthermia. Whole-body hyperthermia refers to a hyperthermia method in which body temperature is raised to treatment temperature and then maintained for a certain amount of time through various means. Whole-body infrared hyperthermia is used to raise body temperature and maintain it for a certain amount of time through infrared radiation. Psychological care is essential for patients before the hyperthermia. In hyperthermia process, closely observe the patient’s condition, and tell the patient that when the skin is overheated or stabbing pain is felt, it is necessary to promptly report it to the medical staff, so that the power can be timely adjusted to prevent burns. Hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion treatment is an effective means to treat primary, secondary, and cancerous ascites.
