The role of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) in cardiovascular surgery is controversial and assumed to result in neurocognitive dysfunction that is not always detected by standard clinical observation. We assessed cognitive P300 visual evoked potentials (P300) in patients undergoing either HCA or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to elucidate whether HCA was associated with postoperative cognitive decline.
