Role of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Preventing Stroke after Cardiac Surgery

CONCLUSIONS: Permanent EEG change and diabetes were significant postoperative stroke predictors in cardiac surgeries. Furthermore, overall survival out to 10-years postoperatively was significantly higher in the group without intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring changes, emphasizing its important predictive role.PMID:36634835 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.01.004
