Brain Damage Risks of Heart Surgery
Brain damage is one of the major risks of open-Heart Surgery. The incidence of brain damage was obviously connected to the presence of the past neurological diseases and to unexpected events during operation. But long perfusion time showed to be the most important danger.
On the contrary age and reasonable operative hypotension are vaguely insignificant. But the study clearly shows that cerebral damage is likely to happen at least to number of patients who went under heart surgery. The occurrence of brain damage was related to the presence of previous neurological diseases history, to operative hypoxia, and to unexpected events during operation, but long perfusion time proved to be the most significant risk factor. As of now doctors are developing preventive measure to every patient to ensure that brain damage will not likely occur.
