CHAPTER

Approach to Managing Patients with AKI in the Context of Elective Cardiac Surgery

The chapter explores the handling of patients presenting with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) without a baseline creatinine in the setting of elective cardiac surgery. Discussions include defining AKI using creatinine alone versus creatinine in conjunction with urine output, stages of AKI and their impact on patient outcomes, and the implications of different treatment interventions on preventing and managing AKI. The speakers also touch on demographic factors, study outcomes, intervention efficacy, recovery in critical illness, and the importance of considering cost-effectiveness in patient care decisions.
