Background: We retrospectively examined the effect of remifentanil on urine output during gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia performed from April 2006 to July 2007.
Methods: Forty six patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were divided into 2 groups. In group C (n=23), anesthesia was performed using sevoflurane and/or propofol with intermittent fentanyl. In group R (n=23), remifentanil was additionally used with the method of group C.
Results: Patient's demography was not different between the two groups. Intraoperative conditions were compatible in both groups. In group R, total dose of fentanyl is significantly lower than group C. BP and HR measured at 20 min after pneumoperitoneum were significantly lower in group R. Intraoperative urine output was significantly greater in group R than group C.
Conclusions: A decrease in urine output is commonly seen particularly in laparoscopic surgery. Increased stress hormonal responses due to pneumoperitoneum have been explained as one of the causes of this phenomenon. Remifentanil has been reported to maintain urine output as well as to blunt hormonal responses in CABG surgery. Although we did not measure hormonal responses in the present study, increased urine output could be attributed to decreased catecholamine levels by remifentanil.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for the detection of early sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), which is defined as AKI diagnosed within 48 hours of a sepsis diagnosis.
Design: A retrospective study design was employed. It is not linked to a clinical trial.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication, and hypotension may contribute. We therefore tested the primary hypothesis that individualized intraoperative blood pressure regulation reduces postoperative AKI in older surgical patients.
Methods: We enrolled patients ≥60 years old scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery with invasive arterial pressure monitoring.

Purpose: Living kidney transplantation is a common treatment for end-stage renal disease. The impact of anaesthetics on postoperative biomarkers of renal injury in living kidney transplant donors is not well understood.
Patients And Methods: 70 transplant donors who underwent kidney extraction were randomly assigned to following two groups: sevoflurane (S group) and propofol (P group).
Kidney Allograft Torsion After Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplantation: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Kidney allograft torsion (KAT) is a rare but critical complication of kidney transplantation that can lead to graft loss due to acute ischemia. This report presents a case of KAT resulting in graft loss 9 months following intraperitoneal simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplant and reviews previous reports to identify potential high-risk features. A 38-year-old female with end-stage renal disease secondary to Type 1 diabetes mellitus underwent an intraperitoneal enteric drained SPK transplant.

Because different PICUs may have unique needs, barriers, and limitations to accurately report fluid balance (FB) and reduce FO, understanding the drivers of positive FB is needed. We hypothesize CFB >5% and >10% is common within initial days of PICU admission, but that reasons for high %CFB will vary across sites, as will barriers to accurate FB recording and opportunities to improve FB recording and management.
