Fig 2 Protocol of the experiment, showing time points at which measurements cited in the tables and figures were taken. No microsphere injection for cerebral blood flow (CBF) calculation at time point 7 due to color overlap. (CPB = cardiopulmonary bypass; HCA = hypothermic circulatory arrest; SCP = selective cerebral perfusion.)

Fig 3 Overall cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral vascular resistance (CVR), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) at different time points during the experiment. All values are shown as mean ± standard error. (SCP = selective cerebral perfusion.)

Fig 4 Temperature comparison of cerebral blood flow in absolute values for the four investigated regions of the brain. All values are shown as mean ± standard error. (RBF = regional blood flow; SCP = selective cerebral perfusion.)
