Summary
Neurological complications from cardiac surgery are an important source of operative
mortality, prolonged hospitalization, health care expenditure, and impaired quality of life.
New strategies of care are needed to avoid rising complications for the growing number of
aged patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This study will evaluate novel methods for reducing
brain injury during surgery from inadequate brain blood flow using techniques that could be
widely employed.
