[Antiarrhythmic therapy in extreme conditions of artificial whole-body hyperthermia and artificial hyperglycemia in cancer patients].

It has been shown that sessions of total body hyperthermia (rectal temperature - 40.0-41.8 degrees C) and artificial hyperglycemia (22-23 mmol/l) in combination with chemotherapy in cancer patients with severe cardiac arrhythmias should follow antiarrhythmic pretreatment and should be accompanied by injections of lidocaine and lidocaine combined with amiodarone, that in most cases prevent or arrest life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.
