The postoperative cognitive dysfunction is typically
neurologic complication after cardiac surgery. Although
it is the most frequent neurologic complication, its
pathophysiology is still poorly understood. The lack
of standardized clinical evaluation tests in diagnosis
and the fact that the applied tests are time-consuming
usually makes it overlooked. It also increases treatment
expenditures. Therefore, the determination of the cognitive
dysfunction with the analysis of the blood samples may
reduce the waste of time. In this article, we examine
biomarkers, notably S100ß and neuron-specific enolase,
which are used for the determination of the postoperative
cognitive dysfunction.
