HEMODYNAMICS AND HEAT TRANSFER IN CONTROLLED WHOLE-BODY HYPERTHERMIA: MODELING OF PROCESSES
N. V. Kinshta} and D. N. Kinshtb} UDC 519.68 The possibilities of describing structural couplings between the organs of a human being subjected to a treatment procedure of controlled whole-body hyperthermia at 43-44oC are considered. The requirements on a model that characterizes changes in the hemodynamics have been formulated, and the interrelations between the models of hemodynamics and heat transfer are shown. As an example of the implementation of the proposed approaches, a system of equations is given that describes heat exchange between an organism and a heat carrier, numerical simulation in the Matlab, toolbox Simulink medium is carried out, and the results of simulation are presented. a}Institute of Automation and Control Processes, Far-East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 5 Radio Str., Vladivostok, 690041, Russia; b}Novosibirsk Regional Hospital, Naukograd, Kol'tsovo, Novosibirsk District, 630559, Russia; email: kin2@nm.ru.
