Case Report
Prolonged Deep Hypothermia
Report of a Case
Department of Thoracic Surgery R, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen
Observations made during and after prolonged deep hypothermia (7 hours between 6-20° C) are reported in a case operated for a rhinopharyngeal haemangioma with severe blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass. Near normal numerical values of the acid-base parameters when corrected to the current temperature were aimed at. No organic damages could with certainty be described to the hypothermia itself or to the prolonged perfusion.
A case of prolonged, deep hypothermia during the application of cardiopulmonary bypass will be reported. For literature and for the theoretical background of using deep hypothermia the reader is referred to a review by I. H. Rygg (1969).
