A model of the thermal conditions of the heart during ischemic arrest was
used to study the efficiency of Shumway's technique of topical hypothermia.
Cooling was improved by increasing the flow of cold saline to 350 ml per
minute, reducing the saline temperature, lifting the posterior left
ventricular wall away from the pericardium, and irrigating the left
ventricular cavity. Perfusing the coronary circulation with cold fluid
cooled the heart eight times faster than did surface irrigations by
Shumway's technique.
