Core body temperatures are calculated as an average of all values before initiation of cooling. Baseline brain temperatures are calculated as global brain temperatures just before initiation of cooling. Nadir brain temperatures represent the lowest global brain temperatures reached throughout cooling. Percent changes in temperature are calculated relative to both core body temperature and baseline brain temperatures. All values are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analyses are performed using a two-tailed Student t test with p values <0.05 considered significant.
