Figure 51-9 Bar graph of variations in cytochrome oxidase (cyt a,a3 ) near-infrared spectroscopic signals and cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRO2 ) in subjects with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Each point of cyt a,a3 represents mean ± SE in six subjects; CMRO2 values are mean ± SD. Negative values in cyt a,a3 represent relative decreases in quantity of oxidized enzyme. *, CMRO2 and cyt a,a3 are significantly different from control, p < .05.
