title: Postoperative enhancement of urinary output in patients with acute renal failure using continuous furosemide therapy.
abstract: Three cardiac surgical patients with acute postoperative renal failure were treated with a constant infusion of furosemide (Lasix) after furosemide given in bolus proved ineffective. Furosemide given continuously brought about a prompt resolution of the oliguria and tended to hasten the resolution of acute renal failure.
