Hypothermic circulatory arrest with moderate, deep or profound hypothermic selective antegrade cerebral perfusion: which temperature provides best brain protection?☆

Abstract

In this model, SACP is superior to HCA alone. Regarding the optimal temperature for SACP, it seems that 20 degrees C provides adequate brain protection in comparison to the potential detrimental effects of moderate (30 degrees C) and profound (10 degrees C) temperatures.
