Complicaciones neurológicas en el postoperatorio inmediato de cirugía cardiaca: todavía un largo camino por recorrer

Central nervous system complications are associated with a higher morbidity and hospitalization time. Units caring for patients with congenital heart disease must implement neurological monitoring during and after cardiac surgery to prevent and to detect these complications earlier.
