1 Cerebral autoregulation after hypothermic circulatory arrest in operations on the aortic arch

2 Fig 1 Autoregulation index (ARI) measurements of the three groups at the different time points of the study. Significant differences were found between preoperative and immediate postoperative time points (t0 vs t1): 5.0 ± 0.4 versus 2.4 ± 1.3; p < (paired-sample Student's t test). Significant differences were found also for each group: group 1 (white boxes; simple hypothermic circulatory arrest): 5.1 ± 0.4 versus 1.3 ± 0.6, p < ; group 2 (light gray boxes; patients operated on with antegrade cerebral perfusion): 5.0 ± 0.4 versus 4.0 ± 0.4, p < ; or group 3 (dark gray boxes; retrograde cerebral perfusion): 5.0 ± 0.5 versus 1.4 ± 0.3, p < Despite a dramatic recovery, the autoregulation index at the end of the study still differed significantly from the preoperative values, both in the overall population (5.0 ± 0.4 vs 3.7 ± 0.9; p < , paired-sample Student's t test) and in each group (group 1: 5.0 ± 0.4 vs 3.1 ± 0.7, p < ; group 2: 5.0 ± 0.4 vs 4.7 ± 0.3, p = 0.005; group 3: 5.0 ± 0.5 vs 3.1 ± 0.5, p < ).
