...added donor blood, to fill the pump-oxygenator ("heart-lung machine"). To this was attached a cooler that chilled the oxygenated blood. The surgeons led this chilled blood into the brain arteries. After about 15 minutes the brain temperature dropped to 68°. The doctors then stopped the flow and clamped all the brain arteries shut. The patient's own heart and lungs supplied fresh blood to the rest of her body...
