Sixty-five patients who had coronary artery graft surgery were subjected to detailed neuropsychometric assessment before operation and twice again within 7 days after operation. They were monitored continuously with a cerebral function analysing monitor during the operation. The results of the peroperative cerebral monitoring were compared on completion of the study with the neuropsychometric assessments. Seventy-six percent of the patients with a significant neuropsychometric deficit after operation also showed significant peroperative changes on the analysing monitor; the majority occurred immediately after the start of perfusion. Twenty-eight patients failed to demonstrate any evidence of neuropsychometric deficit and six (21%) of these also showed significant peroperative changes. All patients whose traces demonstrated more than one significant change during the peroperative course had a significant neuropsychometric deficit afterwards.
