Abstract:Conclusions: We developed a method for virtually continuous measurement of urine flow in the operating theatre. We found that urinary PO 2 provides a relatively robust estimate of medullary PO 2 , but this relationship is confounded by the simultaneous presence of systemic hyperoxia and low urine flow. We observed that during CPB urine flow increases and urinary PO 2 decreases. Thus, it is probable that the best time to use urinary PO 2 to detect renal medullary hypoxia and risk of post-operative AKI is when a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
