1 a dangerous condition in which a person’s body temperature is unusually low --
At surgery, after ligation of the arterial duct, deep hypothermia was established.
Thus, we studied the basic conditions and the response of cerebral cells under profound hypothermia.
Many of the early signs of hypothermia are subtle.
During that night he had hypothermia, severe hypoglycaemia, generalized seizures, abdominal distension and mild upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
A wide range of responses have been received regarding what is considered to be the safe temperature and period for deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest.
Developmental outcome in children undergoing surgery with profound hypothermia.
Various techniques employing hypothermia, reduced blood flow, and circulatory arrest have been used extensively.
Techniques for profound hypothermia, low flow, and circulatory arrest require hemodilution, thus creating a need for augmentation of red blood cells following bypass.
