Can the Cerebral Function Monitor (CFM) detect acute changes in cortical activity and predict neurological damage during open-heart surgery?
The Cerebral Function Monitor is a useful tool for detecting acute changes in cortical activity during open-heart surgery, which correlate with postoperative neurological damage.
