Popis: Objective: Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest for neonatal heart surgery poses the risk of brain damage. Several studies suggest that pH-stat management during cardiopulmonary bypass improves neurologic outcome compared with alpha-stat management. This study compared neurologic outcome in a survival piglet model of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest between alpha-stat and pH-stat cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: Piglets were randomly assigned to alpha-stat (n = 7) or pH-stat (n = 7) cardiopulmonary bypass, cooled to 19°C brain temperature, and subjected to 90 minutes of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. After bypass rewarming/reperfusion, they survived 2 days. Neurologic outcome was assessed by neurologic performance (0-95, 0 = no deficit and 95 = brain death) and functional disability scores, as well as histopathology. Arterial pressure, blood gas, glucose, and brain temperature were recorded before, during, and after bypass. Results: All physiologic data during cardiopulmonary bypass were similar between groups (pH-stat vs alpha-stat) except arterial pH (7.06 ± 0.03 vs 7.43 ± 0.09, P
