Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cardioplegia uses special solutions with other techniques to perfuse fluid into the coronary circulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hypothermia reduces systemic metabolic needs and oxygen requirements, it exerts a protective effect during CPB, and it decreases the intracellular metabolism, which allows tissues to tolerate decreased perfusion.
