Clinical Trial: Transcranial Doppler as a Predictor of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass

U.S., June 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07000461) titled 'Transcranial Doppler as a Predictor of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass' on April 16.

Brief Summary: Neurological dysfunction either transient or permanent is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiopulmonary bypass, and cognitive dysfunction is more frequent in cardiac surgery than in non-cardiac procedures. Variations in cerebral blood flow and oxygen extraction are considered key contributing factors. Although pulsatile flow during bypass has shown benefits for renal function and recovery, its effects on postoperative neurological dysfunction and delirium remain unclear due to limit...
