The quest to minimize the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is ongoing. Impaired cerebral autoregulation and tissue malperfusion are linked with neurological complications. The cerebral oximetry index (COx) has been introduced as an index of cerebral autoregulation, while in-line monitoring enables the detection and prevention of metabolic disturbances during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
