An apparatus and system for extracorporeal treatment utilizes a hemodialysis machine capable of heating dialysis fluid to 48� C., an optional parallel plate hemodialyzer together with a sorbent-based detoxifier, a tubular heat exchanger and a high flow pump-in addition to various probes and catheters-to effect extracorporeal treatment without adverse physiological effect and without the specific need for general anesthesia. The system inheres in the combined high flow of the pump-up to 2400 ml per minute-and the high temperature-52� C.-achievable in the heat exchanger, which together provide unprecedented speed and efficiency in the administration of hyperthemia treatments. The system is also a potentiating system in the administration of heat sensitive pharmaceutically active agents and is praticularly useful in the isolated anatomic areas of a patient. |
