2. Fig. 1
Preoperative cerebrovascular reactivity, for both cerebral hemispheres, for all patients undergoing CABG. Each point represents the cerebrovascular reactivity for an individual. The plot demonstrates that over 80% of patients undergoing CABG have impaired cerebrovascular reserve (<0.86). Lines depict median and IQR.

3. Fig. 2
MAP and MCA flow velocity are plotted for all CABG patients before and during bypass. Each point represents an individual. Despite a significant fall in MAP, MCA flow velocity increased during bypass, suggesting increased arterial tone (*P <.0001, Wilcoxon). Lines depict median and IQR. Rt, right; Lt, left.

4. Fig. 3
Regional CsO2 is plotted for all patients undergoing CABG. Each point represents an individual. CsO2 fell significantly during cooling and bypass, suggesting increased oxygen extraction (*P <.0001, Wilcoxon). Lines depict median and IQR. Rt, right; Lt, left.

5. Fig. 4
Cerebrovascular reactivity is plotted against accuracy of number vigilance 1 week postoperatively for all patients undergoing CABG. Each point represents an individual. Patients with poor cerebrovascular reactivity were found to perform poorly in this test of attention (r = 0.34, P =.01, Spearman).

6. Fig. 5
The number of emboli detected in the left MCA by TCD was plotted against the change in accuracy of memory 1 week postoperatively for all patients undergoing CABG. Each point represents an individual. Memory was impaired by high embolic counts (r = 0.4, P =.001, Spearman).
