Abstract

Cardiac surgeries involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are highly effective, but they can lead to serious neurological complications. These include ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, cognitive dysfunction, delirium, and other central nervous system disorders. This article provides a detailed analysis of the key pathophysiological mechanisms associated with CPB-related complications, including microembolism, hemodynamic disturbances, hypothermia, and its effects on brain tissue. The role of perioperative pharmacological agents (beta-blockers, heparin, insulin) in influencing neurological risk is also explored. The authors emphasize the importance of early stroke risk assessment, timely identification of high-risk patients, and the implementation of preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of such complications.
