Abstract

IntroductionAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in infants. Renal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) evaluates regional oximetry in a non-invasive continuous real-time fashion, and reflects tissue perfusion. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between renal oximetry and development of AKI in the operative and post-operative setting in infants undergoing cardiopulmonary surgery.MethodsIn this prospective study we enrolled 59 infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for congenital heart disease for uni-ventricular (n¿=¿26) or bi-ventricular (n¿=¿33) repair. Renal NIRS was continuously measured intraoperatively and at least 24 hours postoperatively, and analysed for the intraoperative and first 12, first 24 and following 24 hours periods. The renal oximetry values were correlated with the pediatric Risk-Injury-Failure-Loss-End (pRIFLE) classification for AKI, renal biomarkers and the postoperative course.Results28 (48%) infants developed AKI based on pRIFLE classification. Already in the intraoperative renal oximetry and further in the first 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively significantly lower renal oximetry values in AKI patients as compared to patients with normal renal function could be shown (P¿<¿0.05). 11% (3 out of 28) of infants with AKI needed renal replacement therapy and 2 out of 28 (7 %) died. In the non-AKI group no fatal course occurred. Infants with decreased renal oximetry values developed significantly higher lactate levels 24 hours after surgery. Cystatin C was a late parameter of AKI and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin values were not correlated with AKI occurrence.ConclusionOur results suggest that prolonged lower renal oximetry values during cardiac surgery correlate with the development of AKI and may be superior to conventional biochemical markers. Renal NIRS might be a promising non-invasive tool of a multimodal monitoring of kidney function and developing AKI in infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 February 2015.
All research outputs
#16,048,009
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Critical Care
#5,211
of 6,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#215,776
of 395,421 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Critical Care
#446
of 466 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,554 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.8. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 395,421 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 466 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
