Intraoperative renal and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation measurements to predict postoperative acute kidney injury in pediatric cardiac surgery: a prospective observational study

Pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of developing postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that a reduction in intraoperative renal (SrO We conducted a prospective observational study including fifty pediatric patients with non-cyanotic heart disease undergoing elective surgical repair with cardiopulmonary bypass. Intraoperative SrO The incidence of postoperative AKI was 18.4%. There was no association between the duration and extent of intraoperative reductions of SrO A decrease in intraoperative renal or cerebral tissue oxygen saturation was not associated with postoperative AKI in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for non-cyanotic congenital heart disease.
