Pump Head / Symptoms After Cardiac Surgery
"Pump head" is a term used for neurocognitive symptoms (symptoms affecting pathways in the brain) following heart procedures, such as by-pass surgery.
“Pump head” refers to the state in which patients seem to linger after being hooked up to a heart-lung machine for open-heart or valve surgery.
Symptoms include:
- Dizziness
- Balance deficits
- Defects associated with attention, concentration, short term memory, fine motor function, and speed of mental and motor response times.
