Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Core body temperature will be measured from gastrointestinal temperature via an ingestible telemetric pill.
Secondary outcome measures
Arterial blood pressure will be measured using a standard arm blood pressure cuff.
Cardiac output (how much blood is ejected from the heart) will be measured using a nitrous oxide rebreathing approach.
Heart rate will be measured from ECG electrodes attached to the participant.
