Observational StudyIntraoperative Hypothermia is Associated With Reduced Acute Kidney Injury After Spine Surgery Under General Anesthesia: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Although hypothermia is known to have protective effects against ischemic injuries, the effects of hypothermia on kidney injury have not yet been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the association between intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who underwent spine surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ This study showed that intraoperative hypothermia is associated with a reduction in the incidence of AKI following spine surgery under general anesthesia. Further, this association was evident in the group with hypothermia <35°C.
