Postoperative acute kidney injury after volatile or intravenous anesthesia: a meta-analysis
Stephanie Franzén, Robert Frithiof, Michael Hultström
Abstract
This study analyzed the available literature on anesthetic modality and incidence of postoperative AKI. The meta-analysis revealed that propofol is associated with lower incidence of AKI compared with volatile anesthesia. It might therefore be considerable to use propofol anesthesia in surgeries with increased susceptibility for developing renal injuries such as cardiopulmonary bypass and major abdominal surgery.
