Brief Summary

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication of cardiac surgery, mainly manifested as mental confusion, anxiety, personality change and memory impairment, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients after surgery.Attention should be paid to the protection of neurological function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery during perioperative period.Nicardipine can selectively act on coronary arteries and cerebral vessels, increase coronary artery and cerebral blood flow, relieve coronary heart disease angina pectoris, protect brain tissue.The cerebral protective effect of nicardipine on cardiovascular surgery under CPB deserves further clinical study.About 15-20% of cardiac output (CO) in healthy adults is allocated to the brain , and cerebral blood flow is supplied by bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery (VA), among which ICA provides about 70%-80% of cerebral perfusion flow .However, the location of the internal carotid artery is superficial, the anatomical variation is less, and the ultrasonic Doppler technique is portable and simple to measure. It may be of certain clinical value to use the ultrasonic detection technology to quickly evaluate the cerebral perfusion during the perioperative period, and to early detect and avoid the intraoperative brain function injury.
