Numbers of patients with AKI stages 1, 2 and 3. Audit-numbers of patients with AKI collected from the biochemistry department feed and inputted onto an excel template.

Once AKI has been detected and verified (i.e. non-AKI rises in creatinine excluded, such as post- pregnancy), institution of a care bundle for AKI is recommended. The following sections should be

+Refer urgently if any complications of AKI or, need for RRT (Hyperkalaemia, pulmonary oedema, severe metabolic acidosis, pH <7.2, Uraemic pericarditis / encephalopathy) ** Nephrotoxins: Stop NSAID.

AKI protocol started In discharge summary: Complete AKI section. Give clear follow up plan to GP in discharge letter including need for blood and urine tests and review of medications held due to AKI.

The AKI 8 Care Bundle has previously been available in paper form (see below), but it is now accessible directly in the Trust EPR. There are two ways to access the AKI 8 Care Bundle in the Trust EPR:

2023年10月9日 · We conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of AKI care bundles with or without urinary biomarkers in the recognition and management of AKI. The main outcomes were major adverse kidney events (MAKEs) consisting of moderate-severe AKI, receipt of renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common and is associated with poor patient outcomes, which in some cases appear associated with deficiencies in the provision of care. Care bundles are increasingly used for AKI and were a key element of the intervention in the Tackling AKI trial.

2020年9月3日 · Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 15 to 33% of all critically ill patients [1, 2]. The initial definition of AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine and/or a reduction in urine output by Bellomo et al. in 2004, which was revised by Mehta et al. in 2007 and once again in the current definition by Kidney Disease: Improving Global ...

2024年4月17日 · Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent among in-hospital patients with high incidence and mortality. Implementing a series of evidence-based AKI care bundles may improve patient outcomes by reducing changeable standards of care.

2024年4月17日 · Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent among in-hospital patients with high incidence and mortality. Implementing a series of evidence-based AKI care bundles may improve patient outcomes by reducing changeable standards of care. The aim of this meta-analysis was therefore to appraise the influences of AKI care bundles on patient outcomes.
