Figure 51-14 Cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen measurements (CMRO2 ) before and after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Note the significant increase in CMRO2 in the MUF animals compared with the control and transfusion groups at stage 3. CTL, control; MUF, modified ultrafiltration; TX, transfusion. (From Skaryak LA, Kirshbom PM, DiBernardo LR, et al: Modified ultrafiltration improves cerebral metabolic recovery after circulatory arrest. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 109:744, 1995.)
