Introduction: This study was designed to elucidate the trends in cerebral venous oxygen saturation in cyanotics and acyanotics undergoing normothermic and hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its relationship to perfusion flow rates.

Methods: Five hundred and forty-eight patients (253 cyanotics) undergoing first surgical correction using CPB were included in this prospective study. One hundred and seventy-two patients underwent surgical correction under normothermic CPB (34-36 degrees C) - group I; 142 patients were operated under moderately hypothermic CPB - group II; and 234 patients were operated under deep hypothermic CPB - group III.
