Fig 2 Cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (mean values ± SE): group A (black bars), hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA); group B (shaded bars), HCA/selective cerebral perfusion (SCP); and group C (white bars), SCP. The question marks indicate the HCA time points at which it was not possible to measure cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRO2).
