According to the customer: an emergency patient requiring deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (dhca) was brought to theatre in the morning, and bypass commenced at 12:36.A patient core temp of 18c had been requested by the surgeon before dhca could be commenced.At approx.14:00 it was noted that patient temperature was not cooling past a core temp of 23.8c, and the outgoing temp registered by the machine was 16c (even when the set temp was as low as 8c).It was then noted that the ice block had melted.Patient temperature could not be lowered further and the decision was made to replace the hcu, mid surgery, to facilitate dhca.Additional information: the incident occurred during patient treatment.The patient condition is good as of today.(b)(4).
