Why the study?
Can S100B and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) reliably determine neurologic complications induced by extra-corporeal circulation in cardiac surgery?
Can S100B and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) reliably determine neurologic complications induced by extra-corporeal circulation in cardiac surgery?
S100B and NSE may serve as potential markers for perioperative neurologic dysfunction in cardiac surgery involving extra-corporeal circulation.
Should not yet change perioperative monitoring; leaves open prospective validation of S100B and NSE.
There is still no appropriate method to reliably determine neurologic complications induced by extra-corporeal circulation (ECC). S100B and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) could be used as potential markers for a perioperative neurologic dysfunction.
