Is there a relationship between embolic load during cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative neuropsychological dysfunction in patients undergoing CABG?
Embolic load during cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with an increased probability of postoperative neuropsychological dysfunction.
Stump et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Embolic load was evaluated on Neuropsychological dysfunction. Overall embolic load during cardiopulmonary bypass was associated with the probability of developing postoperative neuropsychological dysfunction.
