Summary
This study will assess the effect of active postoperative temperature management and its
effect on the cognitive function in patients following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
surgery to determine if active postoperative temperature management to maintain normothermia
reduces postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in this population. Additionally, the
investigators will explore differences in temperature control variability by using
temperature management wraps combined with acetaminophen vs. acetaminophen alone in a pilot
arm.
