Anesthetic implications of immature renal function include
a) Renal autoregulation is impaired by inhalational agents
b) Increased compound A production leading to renal failure
c) Prolonged elimination half-life of cephalosporins
d) Prolonged elimination of remifentanil due to increased extracellular fluid volume
e) None of the above
Click for Answer
Answer
Answer c. The elimination half-life of cephalosporins is prolonged. Renal autoregulation is maintained with inhalational agents. Increased risk of renal failure with use of sevoflurane and compound A formation has NOT been demonstrated in infants. Remifentanil metabolism is unaffected by renal or hepatic function.
