What is the impact of coronary artery bypass grafting on cognitive impairment and delirium?
Cognitive impairment and delirium are significant complications following CABG, highlighting the need for routine pre- and post-operative screening.
Supports routine pre- and post-operative cognitive screening in CABG; confirms major burden and extends need for targeted intervention trials.
The results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that cognitive impairment and delirium are major issues in CABG patients which require specific attention. It is imperative that appropriate methods for investigating cognitive impairment, and screening for delirium using a diagnostic instrument, occur in both pre-and post-CABG settings.
