Atrial fibrillation occurs often after cardiac surgery and has been linked to adverse neurologic events. We sought to determine whether postoperative atrial fibri ... Full text Link to item Cite

The rewarming rate and increased peak temperature alter neurocognitive outcome after cardiac surgery.

Other Anesth Analg · January 2002 UNLABELLED: Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common complication after cardiac surgery. We evaluated in this prospective study the effect of rewarming rate on neurocognitive outcome after hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After IRB approval and info ...
