Central-nervous-system dysfunction after warm or hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass
Abstract
The increasing popularity of warm heart surgery led us to assess the effect of temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on neuropsychological function after coronary surgery. 34 patients enrolled in a randomised trial of normothermic versus hypothermic CPB were subjected to a battery of psychomotor and memory tests before and after their operations.
