Extract

The debate concerning no flow versus low flow continues. Thus, it has not yet been possible to conclude whether limited period of total circulatory arrest, as opposed to maintained but reduced systemic flow, offers superior protection of the brain during cardiac surgery in children. While most previous work has focused on the hypothermic period of no versus low flow, less is known about the conditions during and after rewarming with full systemic flow. Some previous data, which related the ischemic marker creatine kinase BB during profound hypothermic procedures, suggested that neural dysfunction was aggravated by posthypothermic factors such as hyperglycemia, acidosis and anemia.
