Effect of sodium bicarbonate Ringer′s solution on acute kidney injury following laparoscopic hepatectomy in elderly patients / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of sodium bicarbonate Ringer′s solution on acute kidney injury(AKI) following laparoscopic hepatectomy in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 362 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ elderly patients, aged 65-79 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic hepatectomy, were divided into 2 groups( n=181 each) using a random number table method: bicarbonate Ringer′s solution group(BR group) and lactated Ringer′s solution group(LR group). Bicarbonate Ringer′s solution and lactated Ringer′s solution were intravenously infused in BR group and LR group, respectively. All operations were performed under general anesthesia combined with abdominal fascia block, and the methods of controlled low central venous pressure and intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion were applied to reduce intraoperative bleeding. Radial artery blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis at 5 min before anesthesia induction(T 0), 20 min after occluding liver hilus(T 1), 10 min after hepatectomy and hemostasis(T 2), at the end of surgery(T 3) and at postanesthesia care unit discharge(T 4), and lactate value(Lac) was recorded. Blood samples from cubital vein were collected on admission to hospital(T A) and at 24(T 24) and 48 h after operation(T 48) for determination of serum creatinine(Cr) concentrations. Doppler-based renal resistive index(RRI) was measured at T A, T 4, T 24 and T 48. The incidence of AKI was calculated within 48 h after operation according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria in 2012 for Cr concentration. Adverse reactions(such as nausea and vomiting) and complications(such as incision infection) within 48 h after operation were recorded. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 0, Lac concentrations were significantly increased at T 1-4 in both groups( P<0.01). Cr concentrations were significantly increased at T 24 and T 48, and RRI was increased at T 4, T 24 and T 48 than at T A in both groups( P<0.01). Compared with group LR, the incidence of AKI within 48 h after operation, Lac concentrations at T 3, 4, Cr concentrations at T 24 and T 48, and RRI at T 4, T 24 and T 48 were significantly decreased in group BR( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of nausea, vomiting, incision infection, delirium, bile leakage and pulmonary infection within 48 h after operation among the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:Sodium bicarbonate Ringer′s solution can decrease the development of AKI following laparoscopic hepatectomy in elderly patients.
