BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported an 11% to 75% incidence of postoperative
cognitive decline among cardiac surgery patients. The INVOS Cerebral Oximeter …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of cerebral regional
oxygen saturation (rSO2) in the occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in …

OBJECTIVES Postoperative cognitive decline is common after cardiac surgery, but it is often
unrecognized at the time of hospital discharge. However, it has a great impact on patient's …

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between cerebral oxygen saturation and
neuropsychological dysfunction after cardiac surgery. Design: Prospective and …

Coronary artery bypass surgery, performed with or without cardiopulmonary bypass, is
frequently followed by postoperative cognitive decline. Near‐infrared spectroscopy is …

Objective: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) commonly develops after cardiac
surgery affecting patients' outcome. Cerebral oximetry noninvasively measures regional …

BACKGROUND: Cerebral deoxygenation is associated with various adverse systemic
outcomes. We hypothesized, by using the brain as an index organ, that interventions to …

Aims and Objectives: We studied the usefulness of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO
2) monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and evaluated effects of cerebral …

Objective The study objective was to determine whether targeted therapy to optimize
cerebral oxygenation is associated with improved neurocognitive and perioperative …

Background The objective of this prospective study is to determine cognitive dysfunction
after thoracic surgery. Methods Seventy-six patients undergoing thoracic surgery with single …
