background: remifentanil is a narcotic drug used in anaesthesia for establishment of hemodynamic stability. the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of remifentanil and fentanyl on urine excretion. methods: in a randomized clinical trial, 60 patients, who were candidates for elective surgery for lumbar posterior spinal fusion, were divided randomly into two groups of 30 as remifenta...

Introdution: Acute renal failure is a common complication in the brain injury patients. Released adenosine in injury can reduce renal glomerular filtration. Aminophylline is an inhibitor of releasing adenosine. So, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of intravenous aminophylline in renal function of brain-injured patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit. Method...

background maintenance of the adequate intraoperative renal perfusion is very important during orthotopic liver transplantation (olt) to prevent acute renal failure. objectives for the first time, this study was designed to survey the effects of octreotide on urine output during anesthesia for olt and early postoperative renal function. patients and methods in this randomized double-blind place...

INTRODUCTION The urine output criterion of 0.5 ml/kg/hour for 6 hours for acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been prospectively validated. Urine output criteria for AKI (AKIUO) as predictors of in-hospital mortality or dialysis need were compared. METHODS All admissions to a general ICU were prospectively screened for 12 months and hourly urine output analysed in collection intervals between 1...

BACKGROUND An increase in urine output by remifentanil injection during laparoscopic procedures and surgeries such as cardiac and gynecological procedures, due to suppression of the stress response to surgery, has been reported. The aim of our prospective, observational, cohort study was to assess the effect of remifentanil analgesia on urine output during dental and minor oral surgery by compa...
