Why the study?
Deep anesthesia exposure may be associated with adverse outcomes, but the relationship between anesthetic depth and postoperative acute kidney injury remains unclear.
Does the cumulative duration of deep anesthesia increase the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Does the cumulative duration of deep anesthesia increase the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Prolonged cumulative duration of deep anesthesia (BIS < 45) is nonlinearly associated with an increased risk of postoperative acute kidney injury following noncardiac surgery.
Prolonged BIS <45 may raise postoperative AKI risk after noncardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating in observational data and requires RCT confirmation.
BACKGROUND: Bispectral index (BIS) is a processed electroencephalography monitoring tool and is widely used in anesthetic depth monitoring. Deep anesthesia exposure may be associated with multiple adverse outcomes. However, the relationship between anesthetic depth and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. We sought to determine the effect of BIS-based deep anesthesia duration on postoperative AKI following noncardiac surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study used data from the Vital Signs DataBase, including patients undergoing noncardiac surgeries with BIS monitoring. The BIS values were collected every second during anesthesia. Restricted cubic splines and logistic regression were used to assess the association between the cumulative duration of deep anesthesia and postoperative AKI. RESULTS: = 0.064) in the ≥ 100 min group after adjusting for preoperative and intraoperative covariates in multivariable logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS: The cumulative duration of BIS < 45 was independently and nonlinearly associated with the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
