Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the changes in cerebral blood flow during awake off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and compare with the changes during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting under general anesthesia, using continuous monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation.Methods: The study population comprised 3 groups of patients who had undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with thoracic epidural anesthesia, general anesthesia, or a combination of the two. Regional brain oxygen saturat… Show more
“…In addition, distortion of the mitral annulus and ischemia-reperfusion injury can cause significant mitral regurgitation. It has been advocated that continued cardiac output, mixed venous saturation of oxygen (SvO2), and brain oxygen saturation monitoring should be routine practiced for OPCAB (41,43). One claimed advantage of OPCAB is a lower incident of neurological deficit, which may be associated with limited maneuver/cross clamping on the athermanous aorta.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
