Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on the incidence of acute kidney injuryin pediatric cardiac surgery patients: A randomized controlled trial.
Perioperative dexmedetomidine use has been reported to reduce the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury after adult cardiac surgery. However, large-scale randomized controlled trials evaluating the effect of dexmedetomidine use on acute kidney injury in pediatric patients are lacking. ⋯ Intraoperative dexmedetomidine did not reduce acute kidney injury incidence in pediatric cardiac surgery patients.
