Evaluation of Post-Exposure Sauna Treatment of Firefighters - A Pilot Study, Institutional Review Board# 1801201082
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Sauna Rehabilitation for Post-fire Rehabilitation of Firefighters in Sauna. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Firefighters are at increased risk of cancer, and both inhalation and dermal routes contribute to overall exposure to carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The purpose of the current study is to determine if post-fire firefighter rehabilitation in an infrared sauna: a) affects absorption of PAHs as measured by urinary metabolites; and b) changes core body temperature and heart rate.
