Comparing Hypothermic Temperatures During Hemiarch Surgery
Study Description
“Comparing Hypothermic Temperatures During Hemiarch Surgery”
Hypothermic circulatory arrest is an important surgical technique, allowing complex aortic surgeries to be performed safely. Hypothermic circulatory arrest provides protection to cerebral and visceral organs, but may result in longer cardiopulmonary bypass times during surgery, increased risks of bleeding, inflammation, and neuronal injury. To manage these consequences, a trend towards warmer core body temperatures during circulatory arrest has emerged. This trial will randomize patients to either mild (32A?C) or moderate (26A?C) hypothermia during aortic hemiarch surgery to determine if mild hypothermia reduces the length of cardiopulmonary bypass time and other key measures of morbidity and mortality.

Methods
No pharmaceutical medication involved
Recruiting patients only
Procedure - Hypothermic circulatory arrest
During cardiac surgery requiring circulatory arrest, the patient's body temperature is lowered significantly to reduce the cellular metabolic rate and reduce ischemic injury.
