How is this different from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_hypothermic_circulatory_a... ?

(My guess is that the technique was used in normal surgeries and now they are using it in ER surgeries too.)

"EPR involves rapidly cooling a person to around 10 to 15°C by replacing all of their blood with ice-cold saline."

That part seems to be new.
