Conditions

Acute Kidney Injury

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the placement, timing, associated complications, efficacy of temporary and tunneled catheters for renal replacement therapy in patient with acute kidney injury.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to examine the placement, timing, associated complications, efficacy of temporary and tunneled catheters for renal replacement therapy in patient with acute kidney injury. In particular, we will be assessing renal replacement adequacy for patients on dialysis and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration by monitoring urea reduction ratios, venous and arterial pressures. We will also be monitoring infection rates. We will compare these outcomes in patients receiving tunneled catheters and patients receiving temporary catheters.

* End stage renal disease * Chronic kidney disease 5 progression to end stage renal disease * Outside hospital catheter placement

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dialysis adequacyup to 7d after starting renal replacement therapyAdequacy will be measured using urea reduction ratio for patients on intermittent hemodialysis. For continuous renal replacement therapy, we will record the maximum blood flow rate achievable. These measurements/recordings will be made on average within 1-3 days of starting therapy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
blood stream infection rateswithin 30d of catheter placementPatients will be followed throughout their hospitalization, which can range from a few days to several weeks. Bloodstream infections within 30d of catheter placement will be recorded.
