Use of Transesophageal Echocardiography to Measure Intraoperative Renal Resistive Index and Predict Acute Renal Injury

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Subjects Undergoing Cardiac or Major Surgery Where TEE is Used as a Matter of Routine

In brief

The investigators hypothesize that transesophageal echocardiography is a valid method to obtain renal doppler hemodynamics2, 4. The goal of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between abnormal TEE resistive index measurements, intraoperative events and post-operative creatinine changes
