|---|---|---|---|
| Nervous system complications, n (%) | 10 (18.9) | 3(4.9) | 0.019 |
| Delayed recovery of consciousness | 2 | 0 | |
| Frequent episodes of convulsion | 3 | 2 | |
| Coma | 1 | 0 | |
| Thermal sensory disorder | 1 | 0 | |
| Neuroimaging changes (CT or MRI) | 3 | 1 | |
| Encephaledema | 2 | 1 | |
| Cerebral thrombosis | 1 | 0 | |
| Spinal cord injury | 0 | 0 | |
| Acute renal failure, n (%) | 1 (1.9) | 2 (3.3) | 1.000 |
| Low cardiac output syndrome, n (%) | 4 (7.5) | 7 (11.5) | 0.479 |
| Acute respiratory distress syndrome, n (%) | 4 (7.5) | 6 (9.8) | 0.749 |

DHCA = deep hypothermic circulatory arrest; MHCA = moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest; SACP = selective antegrade cerebral perfusion.
