Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Does Not Show Better Protection for Vital Organs Compared with Moderate Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest in Pig Model

Figure 1

Experiment procedures. The pigs underwent 60 min of cooling, 30 min of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA)/moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (MHCA), and 60 min of rewarming. After stopping CPB, the experiment continued for 24 hours. CPB = cardiopulmonary bypass; CA = cardiac arrest.
