Overview

High rates of neurological damage after open-heart surgery warrant attention; leaves open whether age and hypotension are modifiable targets.

Structured PICO

P
Population
100 open-heart surgery patients
I
Intervention
Open-heart surgery
O
Outcome
Incidence, characteristics, and causes of central nervous system dysfunctions after surgerysafety

Central nervous system dysfunction is a frequent complication following open-heart surgery, affecting up to half of patients, and is strongly associated with older age and intraoperative hypotension.
