I recall years and years ago, probably sometime in the 1990s, reading about an emergency heart surgery being performed on a young girl. I can't recall the specifics, but what I distinctly remember is the nurses getting bags and bags of ice cubes and burying every part of the girl save for her head and the front of her chest with it. If I recall correctly, they wanted to lower her heart rate as much as possible without actually stopping it.
