Background Although regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring has been widely used in clinical practice, the relationship between hemoglobin (dHB) content and rScO2 is incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of hemoglobin content on rScO2 in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia for correction of scoliosis. Methods Ninety-two pediatric patients aged 3 to 14 years undergoing scoliosis correction surgery were enrolled. Continuous monitoring of bilateral regional cerebral oxygen saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS, CASMED, USA) was performed after entering the operation room. rScO2 was recorded when the patients entered the operating room (T0, baseline), after anesthesia induced intubation (T1), and after radial artery puncture (T2). The lowest value of rScO2 during surgery was also recorded. The arterial blood pressure (ABP), heart rate (HR), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2) were continuously recorded. Patients were classified as low rScO2 or high rScO2 group according to whether the lowest intraoperative rScO2 was 15% lower than the baseline value. An analysis and comparison of differences in hemoglobin content in these two groups was carried out. Results The preoperative hemoglobin-postoperative hemoglobin of patients in the high rScO2 group was significantly lower than that in the low rScO2 group (t = − 7.86, p < 0.01), the amount of bleeding during the operation was also less than that in the low rScO2 group (t = − 6.05, p < 0.01), and the systolic pressure of patients was higher than that in the low rScO2 group (t = 4.27, p < 0.01). Conclusions The decrease in hemoglobin level which occurs during surgery leads to a decrease in cerebral oxygen saturation. In order to ensure patient safety during surgery, it is necessary to carry out volume management and appropriate transfusion and fluid replacement in a timely manner.

Objectives: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) has an unfavorable impact on both short-term and long-term outcomes. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the incidence of postoperative AKI between laparoscopic and laparotomy procedures in elderly patients undergoing colorectal surgery.Methods: Medical records of elderly (65 y and older) patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery between May 2016 and July 2018 at our tertiary hospital were reviewed. Patients with Union Internationale Contre le Cancer (UICC) stage II and III colorectal cancer, without neoadjuvant treatment, were divided into laparoscopic procedure group and laparotomy group. AKI, determined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria, was compared between the 2 groups, before and after propensity matching. Multivariable analysis was made to identify independent risk factors of AKI.Results: In all, 285 patients met the study inclusion criteria. Postoperative AKI occurred only in 16 patients from the laparotomy group (n = 212). The incidence of AKI was significantly lower in the laparoscopic procedure group (n = 73) compared with the laparotomy group (0% vs. 7.5%; P = 0.015). Seventy-three patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery were matched with 73 of 212 patients who underwent open surgery, by using propensity score analysis, and the incidence of AKI in the 2 groups was similar (0% vs. 8.3%; P = 0.028). Multivariable analysis showed that intraoperative metaraminol dose > 1 mg (odds ratio = 2.742, P = 0.042) is an independent risk factor for postoperative AKI. Conclusion:In elderly patients, the incidence of AKI after colorectal cancer surgery is lower in the laparoscopic procedure group, maybe related to hemodynamic stability and less vasoconstriction.
