Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of <35°C, and as body temperature is reduced the impact on physiological processes can be beneficial or detrimental. The beneficial effect of hypothermia enables circulation of cooled experimental animals to be interrupted for 1–2 h without creating harmful effects, while tolerance of circulation arrest in normothermia is between 4 and 5 min.
