Topical ice slurry prevents brain rewarming during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in newborn sheep.
To measure the effect of ice slurry topical cooling on brain surface temperature during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. ⋯ Topical cooling of the head with ice slurry in newborn lambs lowers brain surface temperature during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Surrogate temperature monitoring locations such as nasopharyngeal and rectal temperatures varied significantly and do not accurately reflect changes in brain surface temperature.
