Review Meta AnalysisEffects of postoperative furosemide in adult surgical patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and may present as oliguria in the post-operative phase. Diuretics, including furosemide, are commonly used in post-operative patients. Accordingly, we aimed to assess the balance between benefits and harms of furosemide post-operatively in adult surgical patients. ⋯ In this systematic review, we found that the quantity and quality of evidence for using furosemide post-operatively in adult surgical patients were very low with no firm evidence for benefit or harm.
