Nasopharyngeal temperature during cooling to achieve electrocortical inactivity on the EEG in patients undergoing DHCA
Nasopharyngeal temperature during cooling to achieve electrocortical inactivity on the EEG in patients undergoing DHCA
Nasopharyngeal temperature (A) and cooling time (B) required to achieve electrocortical inactivity on the EEG in a series of 325 adult patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery with DHCA.
EEG: electroencephalogram; ECI: electrocortical inactivity; DHCA: deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
