Background: The peripheral perfusion index is the ratio of pulsatile to nonpulsatile static blood flow obtained by photoplethysmography and reflects peripheral tissue perfusion. We investigated the association between intraoperative perfusion index and postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery and receiving continuous vasopressor infusions.

Methods: In this exploratory post hoc analysis of a pragmatic, cluster-randomised, multicentre trial, we obtained areas and cumulative times under various thresholds of perfusion index and investigated their association with acute kidney injury in multivariable logistic regression analyses.
