Abstract
Background
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is the measuring of regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) by interpreting oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin signals that come back by transmitting near infrared light to tissues. The effect of endourological interventions on renal perfusion in children is largely unknown.
Aims
To evaluate the effects of endoscopic injection of bulking agents (EIBA) for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on renal oxygenation (RO) using renal NIRS monitoring, which shows renal perfusion and oxygenation changes.
Study design
Case–control study.
Methods
Group I had bilateral inguinal surgery, Group II cystoscopy, and Group III, EIBA for VUR with 30 patients in each group. During the operation, vital signs, peripheral oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and renal regional oxygen saturation index (rSO2) values by bilateral renal NIRS monitoring were recorded. NIRS values before induction (T0) to postoperative (Tend) were determined. A 20% or more reduction in renal rSO2 (%20↓rSO2) was considered significant. Group III was also evaluated as subgroup III-A (not having “%20↓rSO2”) and subgroup III-B (“%20↓rSO2”).
Results
The rSO2 decrease was observed in the first 5 min for both sides in group III. The most significant drop was at T30 for the right kidney and a significant decrease in rSO2, 20% or more, was observed in 6 renal units of 4 patients having higher SFU grading and renal scar in group III.
Conclusion
EIBA may transitionally impair renal oxygenation. Higher SFU grading and renal scar may increase the risk of renal hypoxia during EIBA.
