End-of-Procedure Volume Responsiveness Defined by the Passive Leg Raise Test Is Not Associated With Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Renal hypoperfusion is a common mechanism of cardiac surgery –related acute kidney injury (CS-AKI). However, the optimal amount of volume resuscitation to correct systemic hypoperfusion and prevent the postoperative development of CS-AKI has been a subject of debate. The goal of this study was to assess the association of volume responsiveness determined by stroke volume variation using the passive leg raise test (PLRT) at chest closure, with the development of CS-AKI according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria.
