Doppler-Derived Renal Functional Reserve in the Prediction of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Robotic Surgery

Anesth AnalgPublished Prospective observational diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

Our findings show that the preoperative assessment of Doppler-derived RFR combined with baseline renal function improves the capability of identifying patients at high risk for PO-AKI with eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 after robotic abdominal surgery in Trendelenburg position for pelvic oncological disease.

Study context

Population
Patients with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >60 mL/min/1.73 m² undergoing robotic abdominal surgery in the Trendelenburg position for pelvic oncological disease
Participants
