Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the predictive value of Doppler-based renal ultrasound and urinary oxygen tension in the development of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a complication following cardiac surgery occurring in 15-30% of patients. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well as prolonged hospital stay and higher medical costs.

The renal artery pulsatility index (RAPI), which is determined using Doppler measurements, has been reported to detect patients with a high risk of AKI. Additionally, the renal resistance index (RRI), measured by Doppler ultrasound, can accurately predict the occurrence of AKI.

Urinary oxygen partial pressure in the bladder has been shown to decrease in the setting of sepsis, reduced renal blood flow, and decreased cardiac output.

Study group

Patients undergoing elective on-pump cardiac surgery

Renal resistive index

Intervention Type OTHER

It will be measured with ultrasound-Doppler using an abdominal curvilinear probe ultrasonography by two independent, trained sonographers (who will not be involved in patient care). After visualizing the kidney in ultrasound mode and checking for renal abnormalities, an arcuate or inter-lobar artery will be localized, and three successive Doppler measurements at different positions in the kidney (high, middle, and low) will be performed. The average value for each kidney will be taken.

The renal resistive index will be calculated as follows:

(systolic peak flow velocity - diastolic minimum flow velocity)/systolic peak flow velocity

Renal Artery Pulsatility Index

Intervention Type OTHER

It will be measured using an abdominal curvilinear probe ultrasonography by two independent, trained sonographers (who will not be involved in patient care). After visualizing the kidney, the interlobular artery will be located using color Doppler mode, and the velocity of the interlobular arteries will be assessed in one or two kidneys.

The Renal Artery Pulsatility Index (RAPI) will be calculated as follows:

RAPI = \[(peak systolic velocity) - (end diastolic velocity)\] /average velocity

Urinary oxygen tension (PUO2)

Intervention Type OTHER

Urinary oxygen tension (PUO2) will be measured preoperatively (baseline), postoperatively just after intensive care unit admission, 12 hours after surgery, and then once daily for 7 days.
