title: Cerebral dysfunction following cardiopulmonary bypass is a fact: what are the solutions?
abstract: Focal and diffuse cerebral dysfunction following cardiopulmonary bypass are multifactorial complications that occur with coronary artery bypass grafting. Controversy exists regarding quantification and duration of diffuse cerebral dysfunction. Multiple measures can be undertaken from preoperative screening to intraoperative and postoperative management to decrease the most common complication occurring after coronary artery bypass surgery.
