Heart Rate and Arterial Pressure Changes during Whole-Body Deep Hypothermia
Figure 1
Core temperature during DH and MH (mean; standard deviation). The black and grey solid lines represent the core temperature during DH and MH. The black asterisk (*) represents the statistical significance with . The black diamond (◆) represents the statistical significance with . Core temperatures were the same between the two groups at starting hypothermic time; then the mean core temperature was 31°C and 33.5°C in DH and MH, respectively. DH and MH had an analogous trend during cooling and rewarming. There was a statistical significant difference (), from 6 to 72 hours, between the two trends during cooling. There was statistical significance between prehypothermic and hypothermic temperature and hypothermic and postrewarming temperature ().
