In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Advances in cardiac medicine and anesthesia have made it possible to expand the indications for open heart surgery to increasingly older and more complex patients. This development is taking place in a demographic context where the aging of the world population has become a structural reality. However, postoperative neurocognitive complications, and in particular postoperative cognitive disorders (POCD), are not limited to the elderly. They can affect all adults, including younger adults, particularly in the presence of risk factors such as prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass, deep anesthesia, or episodes of intraoperative cerebral desaturation. The PSi-NIRS study was designed with this broad perspective in mind. It will include all adult patients (≥18 years) eligible for cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation, with a secondary analysis dedicated to patients aged 65 years and old
