Why the study?
Does ASCP with moderate hypothermia at 26°C provide safe brain and visceral organ protection in patients undergoing aortic arch surgery?
Does ASCP with moderate hypothermia at 26°C provide safe brain and visceral organ protection in patients undergoing aortic arch surgery?
Moderate hypothermia (26°C) with ASCP is safe and protective for both brain and visceral organs during aortic arch surgery with <60 minutes of circulatory arrest.
May support moderate hypothermia with ASCP for limited visceral ischemia in arch surgery; hypothesis-generating pending prospective trials.
Our results confirmed that ASCP with moderate hypothermia at 26°C is a safe method for brain protection. Moreover, during circulatory arrest, moderate hypothermia also offers good protection of visceral organs and it should be preferred for limited periods (<60 min) of visceral ischaemia because it may reduce the systemic inflammatory response and the reperfusion organ injury.
