To cool or not to cool?

To cool or not to cool—that is the question that is raised by the recent study by Greason and colleagues1 appearing in this issue of the Journal. Greason and colleagues1 used the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database to evaluate patients undergoing nonemergency on-pump isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with specific attention to the effect of lowest intraoperative recorded core body temperature on the primary end point of operative mortality and secondary end points of stroke, reoperation for bleeding, and a combined infection end point.
