Key result
Longer duration of pump-time during coronary by-pass surgery was correlated with clinically relevant neurological complications.
Why the study?
Does the duration of pump-time predict neurological complications in patients undergoing coronary by-pass surgery?
Cohort (n=91)

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Duration of pump-time appears to be the main predictor of neurological complications after coronary by-pass surgery.
A prospective study was undertaken of cerebral complications in 91 patients undergoing coronary by-pass surgery. Patients showing clinically relevant neurological complications had longer pump-times but did not differ in pre-operative variables. Worsening of neurological state correlated with duration of pump-time but not with pre-operative variables. Duration of pump-time appears to be the main predictor of neurological complications after coronary by-pass surgery.

Carella et al. (1988) conducted a cohort in Coronary by-pass surgery (n=91). Duration of pump-time was evaluated on Clinically relevant neurological complications. Longer duration of pump-time during coronary by-pass surgery was correlated with clinically relevant neurological complications.
