La dexmedetomidina mitiga la insuficiencia renal aguda tras la cirugía de revascularización coronaria: un ensayo clínico prospectivo

Abstract

Introduction and objectivesTo evaluate the impact of dexmedetomidine impact on cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI), kidney function, and metabolic and oxidative stress in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with heart-lung machine support. MethodsA randomized double-masked trial with 238 participants (50-75 years) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022. The participants were divided into Dex (n=119) and NS (n = 119) groups. Dex was administered at 0.5 mcg/kg over 10minutes, then 0.4 mcg/kg/h until the end of surgery; the NS group received equivalent saline. Blood and urine were sampled at various time points pre- and postsurgery. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of CSA-AKI, defined as the occurrence of AKI within 96hours after surgery. ResultsThe incidence of CSA-AKI was significantly lower in the Dex group than in the NS group (18.26% vs 32.46%; P=.014). Substantial increases were found in estimated glomerular filtration rate value at T4–T6 (P<.05) and urine volume 24hours after surgery (P<.01). Marked decreases were found in serum creatinine level, blood glucose level at T1–T2 (P<.01), blood urea nitrogen level at T3–T6 (P<.01), free fatty acid level at T2–T3 (P<.01), and lactate level at T3–T4 (P<.01). ConclusionsDex reduces CSA-AKI, potentially by regulating metabolic disorders and reducing oxidative stress.
