Rationale for implementation of warm cardiac surgery in pediatrics
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2016 Cardiac surgery was developed thanks to the introduction of hypothermia and cardiopulmonary bypass in the early 1950s. The deep hypothermia protective effect has been essential to circulatory arrest complex cases repair.

Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2013 Effective cerebral protection remains the principle concern during aortic arch surgery. Hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) is entrenched as the primary neuroprotection mechanism since the 70s, as it slows injury-inducing pathways by limiting cerebral metabolism. However, increases in HCA duration has been associated with poorer neurological outcomes,

MicroRNA-194-5p Levels Decrease during Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractHypothermia has been reported to be effective in protecting the brain in various clinical conditions, including resuscitation after cardiac arrest and complex cardiovascular surgery, and is considered to be a promising therapy for stroke. The present study aimed to confirm the pivotal role that miRNA-194-5p plays in deep hypothermia circulation

Rewarming for accidental hypothermia in an urban medical center using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate in urban areas. For moderate hypothermia cases conventional rewarming methods are usually adequate, however in severe cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
