Fine-Mapping the Association of Acute Kidney Injury With Mean Arterial and Central Venous Pressures During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Anesth AnalgPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Fine-mapping identified narrow ranges of MAP, CVP, and joint MAP/CVP associated with both AKI risk and protection.

Study context

Population
Adults undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
Participants
1,199 adults
Exposure
Minutes spent in narrow MAP, CVP and joint MAP/CVP ranges
Outcome
AKI
Methodological detailsmultivariable regression, adjusted for multiple comparisons
  • Multivariable regression
  • Adjusted for multiple comparisons

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

AKI per 5 min spent in each hemodynamic range
MAP 45 to 50 mm Hg · significantly increased risk
aOR 1.18; P = 0.002
MAP 50 to 55 mm Hg · significantly increased risk
aOR 1.13; P = 0.001
MAP 55 to 60 mm Hg · significantly increased risk
aOR 1.06; P = 0.001
MAP 90 to 95 mm Hg · significantly decreased risk
aOR 0.85; P < 0.001
CVP 16 to 18 mm Hg · significantly increased risk
aOR 1.07; P = . 002
CVP 4 to 6 mm Hg · significantly decreased risk
aOR 0.97; P = . 025

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Joint MAP/CVP ranges

Risk decreased as CVP decreased within every MAP range; significantly lower for CVP <8 and MAP >75

5 MAP/CVP hemodynamic zones

Protection from acute kidney injury (AKI) in zone 1 (high MAP/low CVP); increased risk in zones 3 to 5 (low MAP/high CVP)
