Brain damage and neurological outcome after open-heart surgery.
Cerebral damage remains a major hazard of open-heart surgery. A one-year follow-up investigation of 100 consecutive patients who underwent open-heart operation for valve replacement revealed an incidence of postoperative cerebral disorders of 37%. The occurrence of brain damage was clearly related to the presence of a history of previous neurological diseases, to operative hypoxia, and to unexp...
متن کاملFive-year neurological and EEG outcome after open-heart surgery.
A five-year neurological and EEG follow-up was carried on 55 patients who had undergone open-heart surgery for valve replacement in order to investigate the long-term results of the treatment. The five-year survival rate was 89%. The prevalence of permanent neurological abnormalities after operation was 9%.

متن کاملNeurological damage related to open-heart surgery. A clinical survey.
A survey has been carried out on all cases submitted to open-heart surgery at one hospital during 1970 to determine which operative features were associated with the occurrence of neurological damage. Four hundred and seventeen subjects survived the operative period. Neurological dysfunction, defined as impairment of consciousness, voluntary movement or vision, apparent within three days of ope...
متن کاملPrevention of neurological damage during open-heart surgery.
A previous study of neurological damage related to open-heart surgery suggested that the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass is a time of particular hazard, and there is evidence that both microemboli from the extracorporeal circulation and inadequate cerebral perfusion may be contributory factors. Measures to eliminate or minimize these hazards have been introduced, and a clinical survey has been ...
متن کاملVariables that predict reintubation after open-heart surgery
Abstract Background: This study sought to determine patient characteristics, process of care, and outcome as predictors of reintubation after open-heart surgery. Methods: We performed a retrospective case control study that included all patients undergoing cardiac surgery who required reintubation and an equal number of control patients not requiring reintubation. Putative risk factors were an...
