This original article by Linardi et al. analysis the outcome of slow versus fast rewarming after hypothermic circulatory arrest in a rat model. They observed reduced inflammatory and oxidative stress and also a higher cerebral blood flow within the slow rewarming group compared to the fast rewarming group. Therefore they suspect slow rewarming might be superior regarding neurologic outcome after hypothermic circulatory arrest.
