Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care01:20

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

127
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Acute Kidney Injury IV: Diagnostic Studies and Prevention

139
Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

204
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction01:28

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

155
A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

Acute Kidney Injury VI: Nursing Management

191
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results in an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Effective nursing management is critical in improving patient outcomes and includes comprehensive patient assessment and targeted interventions.Comprehensive Patient AssessmentA detailed history collection is essential, focusing on any recent infections, nephrotoxic medication use, or chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that may contribute to AKI. During the physical...

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction01:22

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

285
Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Geriatrics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Low physical activity and poor physical function are linked to adverse outcomes in kidney failure patients.
  • Chronic kidney disease patients exhibit reduced physical abilities, lower quality of life, and increased cardiovascular risks.
  • Frailty exacerbates poor outcomes, with higher hospitalization and mortality rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of a physical activity intervention for kidney failure inpatients.
  • To examine the effects of an early, kinesiologist-led physical activity/mobility intervention.
  • To inform the integration of physical activity into standard care for kidney failure patients.

Main Methods:

  • A single-arm pilot study involving kidney failure inpatients at Foothills Medical Centre.
  • Individualized in-hospital physical activity/mobility intervention.
  • Assessment of frailty and physical function at baseline and post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • Feasibility of the intervention in a real-world setting was examined.
  • The study gathered evidence to support mobility and physical activity in standard care.
  • Data collected will inform future physical activity programming for this patient group.

Conclusions:

  • The Move More study provides foundational evidence for implementing physical activity interventions in kidney failure care.
  • Further research will utilize these findings to optimize programming for improved patient outcomes.
  • Integrating physical activity is crucial for enhancing the well-being of individuals with kidney failure.
