Cerebral blood flow (CBF) also changes with temperature, and these changes are proportional to the changes in cerebral metabolism induced by temperature variations . Due to the physiological coupling between CBF and metabolism, decreased brain temperature induces a concomitant decrease in metabolism and blood flow , leading to decreased intracerebral vascular volume and intracranial pressure . 2 and CBF is nonlinear . During mild hypothermia after cardiac arrest in humans, CBF is low .
