Incidence of acute kidney injury post cardiac surgery: a comparison of the AKIN and KDIGO criteria.

Background And Objectives: Data on urine output have not been routinely presented to define cardiac surgery-related acute kidney injury (AKI). We evaluated the incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery based on the AKIN and KDIGO criteria (considering serum creatinine concentration and urine output in the first 72 hours postoperatively) and compared the performance of the 2 criteria for AKI staging.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacement, or CABG + valve replacement between October 2017 and April 2018 at a single institution.

Effect of endovenous lidocaine on analgesia and serum cytokines: double-blinded and randomized trial.

Study Objective: This trial aimed to compare postoperative analgesia, opioid consumption, duration of ileus and hospital stay, and cytokine levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies who received intravenous lidocaine in comparison with a control group.

Design: Prospective, longitudinal, double-blind, and randomized study.

Setting: Operating room and postoperative recovery area.
