MATERIAL AND METHODS Adult patients undergoing elective CABG surgery under propofol-based anesthesia were divided into 2 groups: the study group received 50 ml of CER preoperatively and on the 4 subsequent consecutive days, and the control group did not receive CER.
Both tests were performed preoperatively, as well as on the 2nd and 5th postoperative days.
