Tissue Oxygen Saturation Combined With Serum Lactic Acid Can Predict Cardiac Surgery–Associated Acute Kidney Injury

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Tissue oxygen saturation measured during CPB and elevated postoperative serum lactate levels are valuable early parameters for predicting CSA-AKI risk in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB.
