Comparative StudyFeasibility of measuring renal blood flow using transesophageal echocardiography in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
To evaluate the feasibility of measuring renal blood flow (RBF) using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ⋯ For 96% of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery, it is feasible to measure RBF using intraoperative TEE during CPB. Volumetric RBF was related to the perfusion rate and the mean artery pressure during CPB.
