Biomarker-guided Implementation of the AKI Bundle

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Kidney Injury (Nontraumatic)
Registration Number
NCT03244514
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Muenster
Brief Summary

There is no specific therapy for acute kidney injury. It is presumed that supportive measures improve the care and outcome of patients with acute kidney injury.

The investigators hypothesize that the implementation of a bundle of supportive measures adapted to patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery reduces the occurence of AKI.

A Randomized prospective multicenter trial is needed to investigate whether the implementation of the bundle of measures is effective to prevent AKI in high risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In this feasibility trial the investigators will analyze the compliance rate to the trial protocol in a multicenter, multinational cohort in preparation for a large randomized controlled trial.
