Study Details
Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Detect Acute Kidney Injury During Cardiac Surgery
(IRB#: IRB_00179157)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of cardiac (heart) surgery. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that uses light to determine how well-oxygenated a persons body tissues are. This technology is routinely used in cardiac surgery to measure the oxygen level in a persons brain by placing a sensor sticker on the forehead. This study wants to test whether NIRS sensor stickers placed on the skin over the kidney can predict AKI better than when sensors are placed on the skin over the limbs such as the arms and legs. People in the study will receive normal care for cardiac surgery along with adding more sensor stickers placed on the body. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants.
