Abstract

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 4774 patients were eligible, and 129 (2.7%) experienced postoperative AKI. Restricted cubic splines showed that a cumulative duration of BIS < 45 was nonlinearly associated with postoperative AKI (P-overall = 0.033 and P-non-linear = 0.023). Using the group with the duration of BIS < 45 less than 15 min as the reference, ORs of postoperative AKI were 2.59 (95% confidence interval [CI]:0.60 to 11.09, p = 0.200) in the 15–100 min group, and 4.04 (95%CI:0.92 to 17.76, p = 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.
