Figure 2 Periodic distribution of lactate levels
ACP: Antegrade cerebral perfusion
s100β and lactate levels at the end of the ASCP period were not correlated with any thoracic NIRS values (r=0.202, p=0.284 and r=-0.040, p=0.833 respectively). On the other hand, lactate levels of descending aorta displayed a moderately negative correlation with T10 NIRS values during the same period (r=-0.514, p=0.004) (Figure 3).
