The purpose of this study is to prove the correlation between the post-operative delirium (POD) and anesthetic agents. The investigators hypothesized that intravenous anaesthetics would show the lower incidence of POD, compared with inhalation anaesthetics in off-pump CABG.
The medical records of the patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Konkuk University Medical Centre from Jan 2010 to Aug 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.
