Regular ECG patterns during profound hypothermia and arrest merit cautious interpretation; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Does profound hypothermia with circulatory arrest cause regular electrocardiographic changes in dogs and patients undergoing open heart surgery?
Profound hypothermia with circulatory arrest during open heart surgery produces a regular, predictable pattern of electrocardiographic changes.
O. B. Tofler (1962) studied this question.
