Technical Data
The myocardial temperature should be kept below 20° C, while the patient's temperature may be 30° C or higher.
Cooling of the myocardium may be achieved by placing an icy slush between the heart and the cardiac insulation pad.
The tape attached to the cardiac insulation pad is to facilitate the removal of the pad.
