Effects of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia on renal function in low birth weight infants

چکیده
BACKGROUND Low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia has been shown to influence renal function in rats, but not in adult humans. Presently, no study has assessed the effects of sevoflurane on renal function in low birth weight infants. Our aim was to study the renal function in low birth weight infants undergoing surgery with low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. METHODS Forty infants graded as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I or II undergoing abdominal surgery were selected. After the induction of anesthesia, they received sevoflurane semi-closed inhalation anesthesia with an oxygen flow rate of 1 L/minute. According to patient vital signs, in-tidal sevoflurane concentration was maintained at 2.5%-4.0%. Peripheral vein blood samples and urine specimens were obtained before surgery (T0), at the end of surgery (T1), and 24 (T2), 48 (T3), and 72 hours (T4) after surgery. Serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary retinol binding protein (RBP), and β-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG) levels were determined at these time points. Also, a temperature probe was inserted into the center of a soda lime canister and temperature readings were obtained. RESULTS There were no significant differences in Cr and BUN before and after surgery (P > 0.05). However, RBP and NAG levels increased after surgery (P < 0.05), but returned to preoperative levels 72 hours (T4) after surgery. The highest soda lime temperature was 37.3 ± 3.1°C. CONCLUSIONS Low-flow sevoflurane semi-closed inhalation anesthesia has no significant effect on the renal function of low birth weight infants.

Frequency of Thyroid Function Disorders among a Population of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Premature Infants
Background: Thyroid function disorders, particularly congenital hypothyroidism (CHT), are important endocrine dysfunctions associated with permanent morbidities. CHT is more prevalent among preterm low-birth-weight neonates compared to term infants with normal weight. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 126 very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) neonates referred to the neonatal inten...
متن کاملLow-flow sevoflurane compared with low-flow isoflurane anesthesia in patients with stable renal insufficiency.
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane is degraded to compound A (CpA) by carbon dioxide absorbents containing strong base. CpA is nephrotoxic in rats. Patient exposure to CpA is increased with low fresh gas flow rates, use of Baralyme, and high sevoflurane concentrations. CpA formation during low-flow and closed circuit sevoflurane anesthesia had no significant renal effects in surgical patients with normal r...
متن کاملEffects of probenecid on renal function in surgical patients anesthetized with low-flow sevoflurane.
BACKGROUND Dehydrofluorination of sevoflurane by carbon dioxide absorbents in anesthesia machines produces compound A, which is nephrotoxic in rats. Several clinical studies indicate that prolonged low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia is associated with an increased urinary excretion of biochemical markers, such as protein. Probenecid, a competitive inhibitor of organic anion transport, diminishes c...

Background: Feeding intolerance is a common problem among premature infants. There is limited information on the safety and effects of oral probiotic supplements, especially products containing Lactobacillus reuteri, and the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in low birth weight preterm infants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus reuteri on the gastrointestinal ...
