Abstract:
Core-temperature rhythms of 16 patients who underwent cardiac surgery were studied and tow types of rhythm pattern were recognized. One showed a non-stationary part in the rhythm whereas the other did not. The non-stationary part of the rhythm was thought to be an expression of the disturbance caused by surgical intervention. Patients who suffered from 'ICU syndrome' showed a low-amplitude rhythm.
