This study looks at whether mild memory or thinking problems before heart surgery can affect recovery, specifically the chance of experiencing confusion after surgery. It aims to help patients and doctors plan better care.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers (carbon dioxide and lactate) can help predict confusion or memory problems after heart surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, the findings may help doctors identify and support patients at higher risk for post-surgery thinking issues.
This study looks at how blood flow to the brain changes during heart surgery and whether it relates to confusion after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent confusion in older patients.
This study looks at whether brain inflammation during heart surgery may affect memory and thinking. It includes people aged 60 and older who are having planned heart surgery.
This study uses a brain wave recording device (EEG) during heart surgery to see if it can predict short-term confusion or memory problems after the operation. It may help doctors find and treat thinking issues earlier.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
