Assessing cognitive and neurophysiological outcomes after open heart surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the clinical, cognitive, and neurophysiological outcomes of patients who have undergone open heart surgery, specifically focusing on those undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It utilizes digital electroencephalography (DEEG) to assess preoperative neurophysiological status and its correlation with postoperative cognitive function. The study aims to gather data from a sample of Egyptian patients to better understand the impact of cardiac surgery on cognitive health. The findings could help in predicting cognitive outcomes based on preoperative assessments.
