Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly prevalent and serious complication after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study is to identify the predictors of AKI and the cut-off values after isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). A total of 329 adult patients, who underwent isolated OPCAB between December 2008 and February 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups: non-AKI, early AKI and late AKI groups. The early AKI group or the late AKI group were defined as 'having AKI that occurred before or after 48 h postoperatively', respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of AKI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the cutoff value, the sensitivity, and the specificity of the predictors. On the multivariate analysis, the emergency surgery, the preoperative serum albumin, and the postoperative day 1 neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NL ratio) were identified as the independent predictors of AKI. However, neither albumin nor the NL ratio predicted late AKI. The present study showed the preoperative albumin and the postoperative day 1 NL ratio were the robust and independent predictors of postoperative early AKI in isolated OPCAB.

BACKGROUND: The incidence and risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and early PONV (ePONV) was evaluated in patients who underwent breast surgery with volatile anesthesia. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we used a multivariate logistic regression to investigate the incidence and risk factors of PONV. RESULTS: Among 928 patients, 166 (18%) and 220 (24%) had ePONV and PONV, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the anesthesia duration and the use of desflurane were independent risk factors for ePONV. For PONV, the anesthesia duration and Apfel score were the independent risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Although many previous studies have shown that PONV is a multifactorial event, our results indicate that desflurane use can be considered a main cause of ePONV. However, in the delayed phase, a higher Apfel score was the main predictor. In the early and delayed phases, a long duration of anesthesia was related to a high risk of PONV. Accordingly, avoiding a long duration of anesthesia and desflurane use is recommended for patients at a high risk of developing PONV, particularly for those with high Apfel scores.

BACKGROUND: Most children with trisomy 13 display central apnea, and are prone to opioid-induced respiratory depression. We conducted opioid-free anesthesia for a patient with trisomy 13 and obstructive sleep apnea, and safely extubated the patient in the operating room. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-month-old girl with trisomy 13 underwent tonsillectomy. Given her high sensitivity to opioids, general anesthesia was introduced and maintained only with 2-5% sevoflurane and 33% nitrous oxide in oxygen. We used acetaminophen for postoperative analgesia. The tracheal tube was removed under stable breathing pattern 10 min after the surgery in the operating room. Two years later, opioid-free anesthesia with 2-5% sevoflurane and 33% nitrous oxide in oxygen was again performed safely for tube insertion into both eardrums. CONCLUSION: Opioid-free anesthesia with adequate non-narcotic analgesics is safe for children with trisomy 13 with multiple apnea-related comorbidities.

The kidneys are prone to developing ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) following certain renal surgeries and cardiovascular surgeries requiring cardiac arrest. Sevoflurane and ischemic preconditioning reportedly alleviate IRI, which is mediated via microRNAs. The present study compared anesthetic preconditioning (APC) and ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on microRNAs, which promote cell‑survival pathways in rats in a randomized controlled study. After undergoing right nephrectomy under general anesthesia, male Wistar rats (336±24 g) and were divided into four groups (IRI, APC, IPC and sham; n=7 each). The IRI group underwent 45 min clamping of the left renal vasculature, followed by 4 h of reperfusion. APC involved exposure to one minimum alveolar concentration sevoflurane for 15 min. IPC included three cycles of two‑min clamping and five‑min reperfusion. Blood and renal biopsy samples were assessed postoperatively to measure serum creatinine and to analyze renal microRNA (miR) expression using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) testing and their target pathways with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis™. The present study found that serum creatinine values in APC (0.71±0.08 mg/dl) and IPC (0.73±0.1 mg/dl) groups were lower than in the IRI group (0.96±0.13 mg/dl; P<0.05), indicating amelioration of IRI by APC and IPC. RT‑qPCR followed by pathway analysis indicated that APC and IPC affect 'protein kinase B (Akt)'. APC promoted miR‑17‑3p and suppressed miR‑27a. IPC promoted miR‑19a. All the miRs were predicted to regulate phosphorylated Akt, which promotes cell‑protection. Western blot analysis showed that expression of phosphorylated Akt increased and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) decreased following APC and IPC. The present study concluded that APC and IPC affect different miRs, although they are estimated to similarly promote the PTEN/phosphoinositide 3‑kinase/Akt signaling pathway, resulting in reno‑protection.
