Femoral Vein Pulsatility and Neurocognitive Disorder in Cardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neurocognitive disorder and venous congestion are related in cardiac surgery. Femoral vein (FV) Doppler allows noninvasive assessment of venous congestion. This study aims to associate postoperative neurocognitive disorder in cardiac surgery with FV pulsatility.

Method

A secondary analysis was conducted using data from retrospective and prospective cohorts. FV Doppler and neurocognitive disorder were measured upon admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery. An index of FV pulsatility of ≥ 50% was considered abnormal. The presence of neurocognitive disorder was assessed using the Intensive Care Delirium Score Checklist (ICDSC). Descriptive statistical analyses and logistic regression were used to test the association between FV Doppler pulsatility and
