=== Hypothermia === CPB can be used for the induction of total body [[Therapeutic hypothermia|hypothermia]], a state in which the body can be maintained for up to 45 minutes without [[perfusion]] (blood flow). If blood flow is stopped at normal [[body temperature]], permanent [[brain damage]] can occur in three to four minutes β death may follow. Similarly, CPB can be used to rewarm individuals who have [[hypothermia]]. This rewarming method of using CPB is successful if the core temperature of the patient is above 16 Β°C.
