Abstract This study assesses hemodynamic data and parameter combinations in predicting neurocognitive impairment post-cardiopulmonary bypass graft (CABG) using logistic regression and random forest algorithms. 28 patients underwent the Montreal Cognitive..

Abstract Background and Aims Innovative advancements in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) configurations, such as surface coating, blood filtration, and miniaturization, aim to reduce gaseous microemboli (GME) that contribute to embolic organ..

Abstract Background It has long been held that the safe duration of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) is at least 25 to 30 minutes. However, this belief is based primarily on..

Abstract Shifts from deep to moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) in aortic arch surgery necessitate an examination of their differential impacts on neurocognitive functions, especially structured verbal memory, given its..

Abstract Neurocognitive changes are the most common complication after cardiac surgery, ranging from acute postoperative delirium to prolonged postoperative neurocognitive disorder. Changes in cognition are distressing to patients and families..

Abstract Objective Delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR) remains a common complication after surgery and the incidence of it is determined 30–80% after cardiac surgery with cardiac bypass (CPB) in eldery patients...

Abstract Background In this study we hypothesize that depression is associated with perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction and altered quality of life one month after surgery. Methods Data were obtained as part..

Abstract Background: During Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) gaseous micro-emboli (GMEs) decrease the quality of the blood flow and the capillary oxygen delivery, increasing the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive disorders (POCD) following cardiac..

Abstract Background: Adverse neurological events during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are common and may be associated with devastating consequences. Close monitoring, early identification and prompt intervention can mitigate early and..

Abstract Background/Objectives Endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (Endo-CABG) is a minimally invasive CABG procedure with retrograde arterial perfusion. The main objective of this study is to assess neurocognitive outcome after..

Abstract Delirium and postoperative neurocognitive disorder are the commonest perioperative complications in patients more than 65 yr of age. However, data suggest that we often fail to screen patients for..
