Background Global and intra-renal perfusion and oxygenation may be affected by the choice
of anaesthetic. We compared the effects of isoflurane with those of propofol and fentanyl on …

Background Anaesthesia-induced changes in renal perfusion are dependent on the choice
of anaesthetic agent. However, the effects of varying inspired oxygen fraction (FiO 2) on …

Regulation of fluid balance is pivotal during surgery and anesthesia and affects patient
morbidity, mortality, and hospital length of stay. Retention of sodium and water is known to …

The effect on renal function of a large dose (25 μg kg− 1) of fentanyl was investigated in 10
labrador dogs. The animals were anaesthetized with nitrous oxide in oxygen and a small …

Background: Inhaled anesthetics cause a transient reversible depression of renal function
by direct renal effects or indirectly by changes in neurohumoral systems or cardiovascular …

The effects of inhalational anaesthetic agents on renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA)
were compared in anaesthetized rabbits. Concentrations of 6% desflurane, 1.2% isoflurane …

Renal medullary hypoxia may contribute to the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury,
including that associated with cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) …

Changes in renal haemodynamics, water and electrolyte excretion were determined in 10
healthy male volunteers before and after the administration of narcotic and atropine sulphate …

The effects of anesthesia on hormonal stress response and renal function were measured
before institution of cardiopulmonary bypass in two groups of patients undergoing elective …

Changes in renal function during anaesthesia and surgery have been noted since the
beginning of this century. These changes occasionally are severe and may progress to …
