Sponsor's own description
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication after ascending aortic surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Dexmedetomidine, a selective α-2 adrenoreceptor agonist, may reduce AKI because of its sympatholytic and anti-inflammatory effects against ischaemia reperfusion injury. We investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine administration on AKI after ascending aortic surgeries requiring CPB in a placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial.
