Abstract
Postoperative delirium is common, especially in older patients. Delirium is associated with prolonged hospitalization, an increased risk of postoperative complications, and significant mortality. The mechanism of postoperative delirium is not yet clear. Cerebral desaturation occurred during the maintenance period of general anesthesia and was one of the independent risk factors for postoperative delirium, especially in the elderly. Hypoxia stimulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which controls the hypoxic response. HIF-1 may have a protective role in regulating neuron apoptosis in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia brain damage and may promote the repair and rebuilding process in the brain that was damaged by hypoxia and ischemia. HIF-1 has a neuroprotective effect during cerebral hypoxia and controls the hypoxic response by regulating multiple pathways, such as glucose metabolism, angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, and cell survival. On the other hand, anesthetics have been reported to inhibit HIF activity in older patients. So, we speculate that HIF plays an important role in the pathophysiology of postoperative delirium in the elderly. The activity of HIF is reduced by anesthetics, leading to the inhibition of brain protection in a hypoxic state. This review summarizes the possible mechanism of HIF participating in postoperative delirium in elderly patients and provides ideas for finding targets to prevent or treat postoperative delirium in elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common condition after general anesthesia (GA). Previous studies have reported that propofol can ameliorate the occurrence of such disorder. However, its results are still inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review will assess the efficacy and safety of propofol on POCD after GA. METHODS Literature sources will be sought from inception to the present in Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the administration of propofol on POCD after GA. All searches will be carried out without limitations to language and publication status. Outcomes comprise of cognitive impairments changes, impairments in short-term memory, concentration, language comprehension, social integration, quality of life, and adverse events. Cochrane risk of bias tool will be utilized to assess study quality. We will evaluate the quality of evidence for each outcome using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. A narrative synthesis or a meta-analysis will be undertaken as appropriate. DISCUSSION This study will systematically and comprehensively search literature and integrate evidence on the efficacy and safety of propofol on POCD after GA. Our findings will be of interest to clinicians and health-related policy makers. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42020164096.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is known to improve heart function and quality of life, while rates of surgery‐related mortality are low. However, delirium and cognitive decline are common complications. We sought to identify preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risk or protective factors associated with delirium and cognitive decline (across time) in patients undergoing CABG. Methods and Results We conducted a systematic search of Medline, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and Cochrane (March 26, 2019) for peer‐reviewed, English publications reporting post‐CABG delirium or cognitive decline data, for at least one risk factor. Random‐effects meta‐analyses estimated pooled odds ratio for categorical data and mean difference or standardized mean difference for continuous data. Ninety‐seven studies, comprising data from 60 479 patients who underwent CABG, were included. Moderate to large and statistically significant risk factors for delirium were as follows: (1) preoperative cognitive impairment, depression, stroke history, and higher European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) score, (2) intraoperative increase in intubation time, and (3) postoperative presence of arrythmia and increased days in the intensive care unit; higher preoperative cognitive performance was protective for delirium. Moderate to large and statistically significant risk factors for acute cognitive decline were as follows: (1) preoperative depression and older age, (2) intraoperative increase in intubation time, and (3) postoperative presence of delirium and increased days in the intensive care unit. Presence of depression preoperatively was a moderate risk factor for midterm (1–6 months) post‐CABG cognitive decline. Conclusions This meta‐analysis identified several key risk factors for delirium and cognitive decline following CABG, most of which are nonmodifiable. Future research should target preoperative risk factors, such as depression or cognitive impairment, which are potentially modifiable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fast-track cardiac care is a complex intervention involving several components of care during cardiac anaesthesia and in the postoperative period, with the ultimate aim of early extubation after surgery, to reduce length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital. Safe and effective fast-track cardiac care may reduce hospital costs. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2003, updated in 2012 and updated now in 2016. OBJECTIVES To determine the safety and effectiveness of fast-track cardiac care compared with conventional (not fast-track) care in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Fast-track cardiac care intervention includes administration of low-dose opioid-based general anaesthesia or use of a time-directed extubation protocol, or both. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2015, Issue 5), MEDLINE (January 2012 to May 2015), Embase (January 2012 to May 2015), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL; January 2012 to May 2015) and the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science (January 2012 to May 2015), along with reference lists of articles, to identify additional trials. We applied no language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA We included all randomized controlled trials of adult cardiac surgical patients (coronary artery bypass grafts, aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement) that compared fast-track cardiac care and conventional (not fast-track) care groups. We focused on the following fast-track interventions, which were designed for early extubation after surgery: administration of low-dose opioid-based general anaesthesia during cardiac surgery and use of a time-directed extubation protocol after surgery. The primary outcome was risk of mortality. Secondary outcomes included postoperative complications, reintubation within 24 hours of surgery, time to extubation, length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital, quality of life after surgery and hospital costs. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted study data. We contacted study authors for additional information. We calculated a Peto odds ratio (OR) for risk of mortality and used a random-effects model to report risk ratio (RR), mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for all secondary outcomes. MAIN RESULTS We included 28 trials (4438 participants) in the updated review. We considered most participants to be at low to moderate risk of death after surgery. We assessed two studies as having low risk of bias and 11 studies high risk of bias. Investigators reported no differences in risk of mortality within the first year after surgery between low-dose versus high-dose opioid-based general anaesthesia groups (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.25 to 1.12; eight trials, 1994 participants, low level of evidence) and between a time-directed extubation protocol versus usual care (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.45; 10 trials, 1802 participants, low level of evidence).Researchers noted no significant differences between low-dose and high-dose opioid-based anaesthesia groups in the following postoperative complications: myocardial infarction (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.99; eight trials, 1683 participants, low level of evidence), stroke (RR 1.17, 95% CI 0.36 to 3.78; five trials, 562 participants, low level of evidence) and tracheal reintubation (RR 1.77, 95% CI 0.38 to 8.27; five trials, 594 participants, low level of evidence).Comparisons with usual care revealed no significant differences in the risk of postoperative complications associated with a time-directed extubation protocol: myocardial infarction (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.31; eight trials, 1378 participants, low level of evidence), stroke (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.33 to 2.16; 11 trials, 1646 participants, low level of evidence) and tracheal reintubation (RR 1.34, 95% CI 0.74 to 2.41; 12 trials, 1261 participants, low level of evidence).Although levels of heterogeneity were high, low-dose opioid anaesthesia was associated with reduced time to extubation (reduction of 4.3 to 10.5 hours, 14 trials, 2486 participants, low level of evidence) and length of stay in the intensive care unit (reduction of 0.4 to 7.0 hours, 12 trials, 1394 participants, low level of evidence). Use of a time-directed extubation protocol was associated with reduced time to extubation (reduction of 3.7 to 8.8 hours, 16 trials, 2024 participants, low level of evidence) and length of stay in the intensive care unit (reduction of 3.9 to 10.5 hours, 13 trials, 1888 participants, low level of evidence). However, these two fast-track care interventions were not associated with reduced total length of stay in the hospital (low level of evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Low-dose opioid-based general anaesthesia and time-directed extubation protocols for fast-track interventions have risks of mortality and major postoperative complications similar to those of conventional (not fast-track) care, and therefore appear to be safe for use in patients considered to be at low to moderate risk. These fast-track interventions reduced time to extubation and shortened length of stay in the intensive care unit but did not reduce length of stay in the hospital.

Abstract
Despite more than 30 years of aggressive neuroprotective research by many investigators, neuropsychological deficit after cardiac surgery remains an important cause of postoperative morbidity. Although the neurological outcome is a result of a multifactorial etiology, many physicians world-wide have recognized the importance of this problem, and extensive efforts have been made in attempting to minimize the incidence of neurological and neurocognitive dysfunction. Pharmacological intervention is one of the important potential methods of neuroprotection during cardiac surgery. In vitro studies have identified drugs that are effective protectants against focal cerebral ischemia, hemorrhage, and global ischemia. However, at present there is no solid agreement on the need for prophylactic neuroprotectants in cardiac surgery. Researchers and clinicians must become more cognizant of the pitfalls and paradoxes that have arisen in attempting to translate the results of animal studies into clinical trial, with regard to neuroprotective therapy during cardiac surgery. There is an extensive need for new pharmacological approaches directed at reducing neurologic and neurocognitive injury during cardiac surgery. This article reviews past and present neuroprotective efforts and interventions during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Modern day cardiac surgery evolved upon the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass machines (CPB) in the 1950s. Following this development, cardiac surgery in recent years has improved significantly. Despite such advances and the introduction of new technologies, neurological sequelae after cardiac surgery still exist. Ischaemic stroke, delirium, and cognitive impairment cause significant morbidity and mortality and unfortunately remain common complications. Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is believed to be associated with the presence of new ischaemic lesions originating from emboli entering the cerebral circulation during surgery. Cardiopulmonary bypass was thought to be the reason of POCD, but randomised controlled trials comparing with off-pump surgery show contradictory results. Attention has now turned to the growing evidence that perioperative risk factors, as well as patient-related risk factors, play an important role in early and late POCD. Clearly, identifying the mechanism of POCD is challenging. The purpose of this systematic review is to discuss the literature that has investigated patient and perioperative risk factors to better understand the magnitude of the risk factors associated with POCD after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risks for intermediate- and long-term cognitive impairment after cardiovascular procedures in older adults are poorly understood. PURPOSE To summarize evidence about cognitive outcomes in adults aged 65 years or older at least 3 months after coronary or carotid revascularization, cardiac valve procedures, or ablation for atrial fibrillation. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Scopus databases from 1990 to January 2015; ClinicalTrials.gov; and bibliographies of reviews and eligible studies. STUDY SELECTION English-language trials and prospective cohort studies. DATA EXTRACTION One reviewer extracted data, a second checked accuracy, and 2 independently rated quality and strength of evidence (SOE). DATA SYNTHESIS 17 trials and 4 cohort studies were included; 80% of patients were men, and mean age was 68 years. Cognitive function did not differ after the procedure between on- and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n = 6; low SOE), hypothermic and normothermic CABG (n = 3; moderate to low SOE), or CABG and medical management (n = 1; insufficient SOE). One trial reported lower risk for incident cognitive impairment with minimal versus conventional extracorporeal CABG (risk ratio, 0.34 [95% CI, 0.16 to 0.73]; low SOE). Two trials found no difference between surgical carotid revascularization and carotid stenting or angioplasty (low and insufficient SOE, respectively). One cohort study reported increased cognitive decline after transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement but had large selection and outcome measurement biases (insufficient SOE). LIMITATIONS Mostly low to insufficient SOE; no pertinent data for ablation; limited generalizability to the most elderly patients, women, and persons with substantial baseline cognitive impairment; and possible selective reporting and publication bias. CONCLUSION Intermediate- and long-term cognitive impairment in older adults attributable to the studied cardiovascular procedures may be uncommon. Nevertheless, clinicians counseling patients before these procedures should discuss the uncertainty in their risk for adverse cognitive outcomes.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Adaptive Support Ventilation Mode to Wean Patients after Fast-track Cardiac Valvular Surgery. Anesthesiology 2015; 122:832-40.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Adaptive support ventilation can speed weaning after coronary artery surgery compared with protocolized weaning using other modes. There are no data to support this mode of weaning after cardiac valvular surgery. Furthermore, control group weaning times have been long, suggesting that the results may reflect control group protocols that delay weaning rather than a real advantage of adaptive support ventilation.
Methods:
Randomized (computer-generated sequence and sealed opaque envelopes), parallel-arm, unblinded trial of adaptive support ventilation versus physician-directed weaning after adult fast-track cardiac valvular surgery. The primary outcome was duration of mechanical ventilation. Patients aged 18 to 80 yr without significant renal, liver, or lung disease or severe impairment of left ventricular function undergoing uncomplicated elective valve surgery were eligible. Care was standardized, except postoperative ventilation. In the adaptive support ventilation group, target minute ventilation and inspired oxygen concentration were adjusted according to blood gases. A spontaneous breathing trial was carried out when the total inspiratory pressure of 15 cm H2O or less with positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O. In the control group, the duty physician made all ventilatory decisions.
Results:
Median duration of ventilation was statistically significantly shorter (P = 0.013) in the adaptive support ventilation group (205 [141 to 295] min, n = 30) than that in controls (342 [214 to 491] min, n = 31). Manual ventilator changes and alarms were less common in the adaptive support ventilation group, and arterial blood gas estimations were more common.
Conclusion:
Adaptive support ventilation reduces ventilation time by more than 2 h in patients who have undergone fast-track cardiac valvular surgery while reducing the number of manual ventilator changes and alarms.

BACKGROUND Fast-track cardiac care is a complex intervention involving several components of care during cardiac anaesthesia and in the postoperative period, all with the ultimate aim of early extubation after surgery, to reduce the length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital. Safe and effective fast-track cardiac care may reduce hospital costs. This is an update of a Cochrane review published in 2003. OBJECTIVES To update the evidence on the safety and effectiveness of fast-track cardiac care compared to conventional (not fast-track) care in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2012, Issue 3), MEDLINE (January 1966 to April 2012), EMBASE (January 1980 to April 2012), CINAHL (January 1982 to April 2012), and ISI Web of Science (January 2003 to April 2012). We searched reference lists of articles and contacted experts in the field. SELECTION CRITERIA All randomized controlled trials of adult cardiac surgical patients (coronary artery bypass grafts, aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement) that compared fast-track cardiac care and conventional (not fast-track) care groups were included. We focused on the following fast-track interventions that were designed for early extubation after surgery, administration of low-dose opioid based general anaesthesia during cardiac surgery and the use of a time-directed extubation protocol after surgery. The primary outcome was the risk of mortality. Secondary outcomes included postoperative complications, reintubation within 24 hours of surgery, time to extubation, length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital, quality of life after surgery and hospital costs. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted the data. Study authors were contacted for additional information. We used a random-effects model and reported relative risk (RR), mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). MAIN RESULTS Twenty-five trials involving 4118 patients were included in the review. There were two studies with a low risk of bias and nine studies with a high risk of bias. There were no differences in the risk of mortality within the first year after surgery between low-dose versus high-dose opioid based general anaesthesia groups (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.28 to 1.18) and between early extubation protocol versus usual care groups (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.40 to 1.75).There were no significant differences between low-dose versus high-dose opioid based anaesthesia groups for postoperative complications: myocardial infarction (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.99), reintubation (RR 1.77, 95% CI 0.38 to 8.27), acute renal failure (RR 1.19, 95% CI 0.33 to 4.33), major bleeding (RR 0.48, 95% CI 0.16 to 1.44), and stroke (RR 1.17, 95% CI 0.36 to 3.78). Compared to the usual care, there were no significant differences in the risk of postoperative complications associated with early extubation: myocardial infarction (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.60), reintubation (RR 1.91, 95% CI 0.90 to 4.07), acute renal failure (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.19 to 3.10), major bleeding (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.44), stroke (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.31 to 2.46), major sepsis (RR 1.25, 95% CI 0.08 to 19.75) and wound infection (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.25 to 1.83).Although there were high levels of heterogeneity, both low-dose opioid anaesthesia and the use of time-directed extubation protocols were associated with reductions in the time to extubation (3.0 to 10.5 hours) and in the length of stay in the intensive care unit (0.4 to 8.7 hours). However, these fast-track care interventions were not associated with reductions in the total length of stay in hospital. One high quality cost-effectiveness analysis included in a randomized controlled trial showed that early extubation was likely to be cost-effective. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The use of low-dose opioid based general anaesthesia and time-directed protocols for fast-track interventions have similar risks of mortality and major postoperative complications to conventional (not fast-track) care, and therefore appear to be safe in patients considered to be at low to moderate risk. These fast-track interventions reduced the time to extubation and shortened the length of stay in the intensive care unit, but did not reduce the length of stay in the hospital.

Abstract
Bispectral index monitoring (BIS) measures depth of anesthesia and sedation. The case of a neonatal patient who underwent surgical repair for a double aortic arch is presented. During surgery, BIS decreased to 0, and cerebral blood flow (CBF), as measured by transcranial doppler ultrasonography, could not be detected immediately after clamping of the arch. BIS returned to baseline, and CBF was detected only after the aortic arch was unclamped. The arch was then carefully reclamped during close BIS and CBF monitoring.

Abstract
PURPOSE This randomized clinical equivalence trial was designed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after fast-track treatment for low-risk coronary artery bypass (CABG) patients. METHODS Four hundred and ten CABG patients were randomly assigned to undergo either short-stay intensive care treatment (SSIC, 8 h of intensive care stay) or control treatment (care as usual, overnight intensive care stay). HRQoL was measured at baseline and 1 month, and one year after surgery using the multidimensional index of life quality (MILQ), the EQ-5D, the Beck Depression Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. RESULTS At one month after surgery, no statistically significant difference in overall HRQoL was found (MILQ-score P-value=.508, overall MILQ-index P-value=.543, EQ-5D VAS P-value=.593). The scores on the MILQ-domains, physical, and social functioning were significantly higher at one month postoperatively in the SSIC group compared to the control group (P-value=.049; 95%CI: 0.01-2.50 and P-value=.014, 95% CI: 0.24-2.06, respectively). However, these differences were no longer observed at long-term follow-up. CONCLUSIONS According to our definition of clinical equivalence, the HRQoL of SSIC patients is similar to patients receiving care as usual. Since safety and the financial benefits of this intervention were demonstrated in a previously reported analysis, SSIC can be considered as an adequate fast-track intensive care treatment option for low-risk CABG patients.

Abstract
Despite improvement in surgical techniques, anesthetic management, and intensive care, a significant number of elderly patients develop postoperative cognitive decline. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a postoperative memory or thinking impairment that has been corroborated by neuropsychological testing, for which increasing age is the leading risk factor. POCD is multifactorial in origin, but it remains unclear whether its occurrence is a result of surgery or general anesthesia. This article discusses the incidence, assessment, consequences, and prevention of POCD, as well as anesthetic strategies to improve cognitive outcome in elderly patients.

Abstract
Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is one of the most popular agents used for induction of anesthesia and long-term sedation, owing to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile, which ensures a rapid recovery even after prolonged administration. A neuroprotective effect, beyond that related to the decrease in cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen, has been shown to be present in many in vitro and in vivo established experimental models of mild/moderate acute cerebral ischemia. Experimental studies on traumatic brain injury are limited and less encouraging. Despite the experimental results and the positive effects on cerebral physiology (propofol reduces cerebral blood flow but maintains coupling with cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen and decreases intracranial pressure, allowing optimal intraoperative conditions during neurosurgical operations), no clinical study has yet indicated that propofol may be superior to other anesthetics in improving the neurological outcome following acute cerebral injury. Therefore, propofol cannot be indicated as an established clinical neuroprotectant per se, but it might play an important role in the so-called multimodal neuroprotection, a global strategy for the treatment of acute injury of the brain that includes preservation of cerebral perfusion, temperature control, prevention of infections, and tight glycemic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of randomized, controlled clinical trials studying fast-track treatment in low-risk coronary artery bypass grafting patients. DESIGN Meta-regression. PATIENTS Low-risk coronary artery bypass grafting patients. INTERVENTIONS Fast-track treatments including (high or low) anesthetic dose, normothermia vs. hypothermia, and extubation protocol (within or after 8 hrs). MEASUREMENTS Number of hours of intensive care unit stay, number of days of hospital stay, prevalence of myocardial infarction, and death. Furthermore, quality of life and cost evaluations were evaluated. The epidemiologic and economic qualities of the different trials were also assessed. MAIN RESULTS A total of 27 studies evaluating fast-track treatment were identified, of which 12 studies were with major and 15 were without major differences in extubation protocol or anesthetic treatment or both. The use of an early extubation protocol (p=.000) but not the use of a low anesthetic dose (p=.394) or normothermic temperature management (p=.552) resulted in a decrease of the total intensive care unit stay of low-risk coronary artery bypass grafting patients. Early extubation was found to be an important determinant of the total hospital stay for these patients. An influence of the type of fast-track treatment on mortality or the prevalence of postoperative myocardial infarction was not observed. In general, the epidemiologic and economic qualities of included studies were moderate. CONCLUSIONS Although fast-track anesthetics and normothermic temperature management facilitate early extubation, the introduction of an early extubation protocol seems essential to decrease intensive care unit and hospital stay in low-risk coronary artery bypass grafting patients.

Abstract
Bradycardia and hypotension are common during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). We present a case of possible reversible global cerebral hypoperfusion during distal grafting of the left circumflex coronary artery. The bispectral index (BIS) suddenly decreased from values of 45-50 to 0 during distal grafting. Neurologic evaluation after immediate tracheal extubation in the operating room was normal and the 58 yr old patient did not suffer any neurologic sequelae. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient was discharged 5 days after surgery. Cerebral hypoperfusion is a possible complication during OPCAB. BIS monitoring in OPCAB could be an indicator of cerebral hypoperfusion.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine whether increasing mean arterial pressure (MAP) with the administration of phenylephrine would improve internal jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients with preexisting stroke. DESIGN Prospective, controlled study. SETTING Cardiovascular center and university hospital. PATIENTS 17 patients with preexisting stroke who were scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and a control group of 17 age-matched patients without preexisting stroke. INTERVENTIONS After the induction of anesthesia, a fiberoptic oximetry catheter was inserted into the right jugular bulb to monitor SjvO2. After measuring the baseline partial pressure of the arterial and jugular venous blood gases and cardiovascular hemodynamic values immediately before the start of the study protocol, MAP was increased by the repeated administration of a 10 microg bolus of phenylephrine, until it reached 200% of baseline values. MEASUREMENTS Partial pressure of the arterial and jugular venous blood gases and cardiovascular hemodynamic values before and after the treatment were recorded. MAIN RESULTS There was no significant difference between the groups in SjvO2 values at baseline (Mann-Whitney U test: p = 0.22). SjvO2 values in both groups were increased after the administration of phenylephrine (SjvO2 values in the control group: 60 +/- 5%, SjvO2 values in the stroke group: 57 +/- 5%). There was no significant difference between the stroke and control groups in SjvO2 values after the administration of phenylephrine (Mann-Whitney U test: p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS Increasing MAP improves SjvO2 in patients with or without preexisting stroke during normothermic CPB.
