RENAL RESISTIVE INDEX POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN MAJOR SURGERY?

MAY RENAL RESISTIVE INDEX BE AN EARLY PREDICTIVE TOOL OF POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN MAJOR SURGERY?

An observational trial aiming to verify whether does any relationship exist between renal resistive index and postoperative outcome in major high risk surgery

Renal resistive index was measured just after major high risk operations and then patients were observed searching for any surgical and medical-related complications during the first post-operative week

Inclusion Criteria:

• age > 18 years
• major surgical operations

Exclusion Criteria:

• age < 18 years
