Summary of simulations. We performed eight different simulations with each electrode type. In algorithm 1, perfusion was constant up to 60 °C and zero above it. Algorithm 2 included a linear decrease in relative perfusion based on a first order kinetic model of vascular stasis, while algorithm 3 added the effects of increased perfusion at low degrees of vascular stasis to algorithm 2 (Fig. 3).
