AKI
Toolkit
The Acute Kidney Injury Toolkit addresses the AKI measure.
Introduction
The Avoiding Kidney Injury (AKI) Toolkit provides additional education to support the AKI 01 measure. This toolkit is designed to provide education and recommendations for anesthesia providers regarding the prevention of acute kidney injury after surgery. Due to the unique challenges presented with each specialty, several presentations have been incorporated into this toolkit to address the different prevention strategies for adult surgical patients, patients undergoing cardiac surgery, pediatric surgical patients and obstetric patients.
