Figure 51-11 Cortical oxygen saturation (SCO2 ) during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in the pH-stat and the α-stat groups. The SCO2 half-life during arrest was significantly greater in the pH-stat than in the α-stat group. (From Kurth CD, O'Rourke MM, O'Hara IB: Comparison of pH-stat and alpha-stat cardiopulmonary bypass on cerebral oxygenation and blood flow in relation to hypothermic circulatory arrest in piglets.
