Summary

This study compares mild hypothermia (33-34°C) to normal body temperature (36.5°C) during heart bypass surgery to see which better protects the brain. Researchers will use advanced MRI scans and blood tests to measure brain injury in 160 adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. The goal is to find the best temperature strategy to reduce brain damage after surgery.
