The ASO under full-flow moderate compared to deep hypothermia was advantageous regarding length of procedure and primary chest closure rate. Moderate hypothermia seemed to be beneficial for pulmonary recovery, length of chest tube drainage treatment and inotropic support. No worse early or long-term effects of moderate hypothermia were found.
