The main aim is to assess the impact of general hypothermia during experimental intracardiac surgery.
Conducted at the University of Toronto
Utilized various hypothermic protocols during surgery
Analyzed outcomes related to cardiac stability and metabolic responses.
Improved cardiac function observed with lower temperatures
Reduced metabolism rates during surgery
Enhanced patient recovery metrics noted under controlled hypothermia.
