Epileptic Potentials During Cardiac Surgery and Association With Postoperative Neurological Outcome

NCT02976584 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1067

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Primarily, the investigators want to test the hypothesis that it is possible to detect epileptiform EEG during cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.

Furthermore, the investigators will examine if those epileptic potentials coincide, follow or are unrelated to ischemic events detected by EEG or Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Finally, the investigators will look for independent associations between intraoperative seizures (with or without ischemic events) and postoperative neurological outcome, as well as between intraoperative seizures (with or without ischemic events) and the total amount of TXA given.
