Episode 30 - Acute Kidney Injury in the SICU with kidney_boy Dr. Joel Topf
Manage episode 275812041 series 2652052
Dr. Joel Topf joins us on Rounds to discuss and review key concepts in the recognition and management of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the SICU. AKI is a common and morbid complication among hospitalized patients. Further, trauma and surgical patients, in particular, are at an increased risk for AKI due to the myriad of pre-, intra-, and postrenal insults that commonly occur at the time of injury, during resuscitation, surgery,, as well as from iatrogenic insults including IV contrast, NSAIDs, antibiotics (aminoglycosides and the infamous Pip/Tazo/Vanco ice cream sandwich).
From the use of a DDAVP clamp in patients with severe hyponatremia to the use of balanced solutions in critically ill patients, kidney_boy breaks it down for us as only a true salt whisperer can!
