Biochemical and reperfusion targeting strategies to improve brain protection during prolonged hypothermic circulatory arrest
Abstract Ischaemic cerebral injury follows a well attested sequence of events including three phases, i.e. depolarization, biochemical cascade and reperfusion injury. Glutamate excitotoxicity plays an important role in the development of ischaemic brain injury following prolonged hypothermic circul...
