Abstract

Yoo and colleagues report a small but provocative randomized clinical trial to prevent acute kidney injury in the setting of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Their article describes a trial of 112 patients undergoing valvular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass who were randomized to receive sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthetic) or propofol for general anesthesia. The use of propofol was associated with a significant decrease in the rate of postoperative acute kidney injury.
