Prevalence and Determinants of Acute Renal Failure Following Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract: We conclude that acute renal failure occurs commonly in the postcardiac arrest period. Administration of the vasoconstrictor epinephrine, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and preexisting renal insufficiency may be significant risk factors for the development of postcardiac arrest acute renal failure. The development of acute renal failure following cardiopulmonary resuscitation predicts a lesser likelihood of survival to discharge from the hospital.

“…In another study, profound hypothermia to 20°C in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass increased GFR and increased flow of hypo-osmolar urine 15, but general anesthesia used has itself been found to confounding effects on renal function and urine output 21,22. Cardiac arrest survivors treated with hypothermia to 32–34°C had a relative delay in the post-arrest return of normal creatinine clearance 18, but renal dysfunction is a common occurrence in survivors of cardiac arrest, and manifests as acute renal failure in up to a third of patients 23,24. Cold water immersion results in a diuresis of dilute urine 25,26, but immersion in water itself, regardless of temperature, induces humoral and hemodynamic changes that may increase urine output more significantly than the hypothermia itself 26,27,28.…”

“…However, even when a patient suffers a witnessed, in‐hospital arrest, the chance of survival to discharge after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is very poor. In fact, moderate‐to‐severe heart failure is one of the strongest independent predictors of in‐hospital mortality after CPR [6–10]. The small opportunity of saving and prolonging life should also be weighed against the negative effects associated with the procedure.…”
