In order to perform heart surgery, a machine called cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), or more commonly known as a heart-lung machine, is used to maintain the circulation of oxygenated blood needed by the rest of the body and its organs. Historically, when a patient is connected to CPB, their body is cooled below the normal body temperature. This is known as hypothermia. This is because scientific studies have previously shown that reduced body temperature lowers metabolism and therefore offers more protection to the brain and other organs due to the reduced oxygen requirement. The evidence supporting this practice, however, has been challenged throughout the history of cardiac surgery, with studies supporting that normothermia, or normal body temperature, is a safe alternative. Despite this, the practice of hypothermia has persisted. Published data from a survey of 139 cardiac surgeons in t
