Abstract Objective To determine if the route of administration of whole blood cardioplegia (cardioplegia) is significantly associated with the frequency of profound transient hypotension (intermittent “vasoplegia”) often observed during cardioplegia..

Abstract BACKGROUND: Current blood pressure management strategies cannot accommodate large interindividual variations in cerebral autoregulation, which may result in inadvertent cerebral ischemia. A novel optical neuromonitoring device was developed to..
