Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the influence of anesthetic management factors on acute kidney injury (AKI) after esophagectomy, which is a surgery to remove part of the esophagus.
- It analyzed data from 1005 patients, finding that AKI occurred in 4.8% of cases, with older age, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, RBC transfusions, and longer anesthesia duration being linked to higher AKI rates.
- The results suggest that, while most anesthetic factors showed no significant association with AKI, epidural anesthesia might offer protection against early postoperative AKI in these patients.
Objectives: To investigate the incidence of and the risk factors for early postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in the prone position from the perspective of anesthetic management.
Methods: We conducted a historical cohort study of patients who underwent MIE in the prone position between September 2010 and August 2018. PPC was defined as pneumonia, atelectasis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), respiratory failure, and pulmonary embolism (Clavien-Dindo Classification Grade II or higher) that occurred within 7 days after MIE.
An increasing number of cancer patients are treated with anti-cancer chemotherapy and may require not only elective but also emergency surgery. Anti-cancer agents may have adverse effects on various organs and negative effects on subsequent anesthetic management Anesthesiologists must therefore be aware of potential toxicity of anti-cancer agents. The common toxicities include cardiac, pulmonary, bone marrow, renal and hepatic effects.
