Table 1: Values for arterial pH, pCO2, and pO2 are corrected to rectal temperature. Pre-CPB, Baseline values before cardiopulmonary bypass; 10'NT, after 10 minutes of normothermic bypass; 10' cool, after 10 minutes of cooling; End cool, end of cooling; 10' rewarm, after 10 minutes of rewarming; End rewarm, end of rewarming; Platelet count, pre-CPB compared with the end of rewarming, significantly higher platelet count reduction in Control group compared with the study group (P<0.05).
