The Application of Hypothermia in the Correction of Cardiovascular Lesions: A Study of 140 Cases

EDWARD J. JAHNKE JR. MC, USA1

1 Thoracic Surgery Service, Walter Reed Army Hospital, Washington 12, D. C.

A study was made of 140 patients who were operated upon under hypothermia for cardiovascular lesions. One hundred twelve had the operations performed without occlusion of the circulatory system. Of eight operative deaths, only three could be directly related to the body cooling.

Open cardiac procedures were performed in 28 instances with complete circulatory arrest for periods varying from two to 10 minutes. Of four operative deaths three were associated with hypothermia.
