Measurement of in vivo cortical thermal clearance in man during complete circulatory standstill.
The cortical thermal clearance (CTC) was recorded continuously during surgery for a giant basilar aneurysm under cardio-pulmonary bypass. The changes observed mirrored the fall and rise in cardiac output. CTC at zero flow corresponded closely to the established cadaveric value, supporting the principle that the conductive component of thermal clearance is constant.
