Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this project is to identify the effects of a severe burn injuries in humans on core temperature responses during work:rest cycles while in a heated environment.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 65 Years
Inclusion Criteria3
- Participants must be free of any significant underlying medical problems based upon a detailed medical history and physical exam, and normal resting electrocardiogram. Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 65.
- \- Participants must be free of any significant underlying medical problems based upon a detailed medical history and physical exam, and normal resting electrocardiogram. Participants who have sustained a burn injury must have a burn covering 20-40% of their body surface area and 50% of those burns must be full-thickness burns requiring skin grafts. Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 65.
- \- Participants must be free of any significant underlying medical problems based upon a detailed medical history and physical exam, and normal resting electrocardiogram. Participants who have sustained a burn injury must have a burn covering more than 40% of their body surface area and 50% of those burns must be full-thickness burns requiring skin grafts. Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 65.
Exclusion Criteria3
- Known heart disease; other chronic medical conditions requiring regular medical therapy including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, and uncontrolled hypertension, lung disease, etc.; as well as serious abnormalities detected on routine screening. Current smokers, as well as individuals who regularly smoked within the past 3 years will be excluded. Participants may also be excluded if body mass index is ≥ 31 kg/m2 will likewise be excluded. Participants must not have had a serious burn injury requiring more than 1 night stay in the hospital.
