Learning objectives▸ Define CIN and recognise this as a common serious complication in susceptible patients receiving intravascular contrast media.▸ Understand the possible pathological mechanisms underlying CIN.▸ Describe clinical periprocedural risk factors for perform assessment Appreciate established strategies used to prevent be aware of novel therapies.▸ Recognise onset manage appropriately.
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), an acute kidney injury resulting from the administration of intravascular iodinated contrast media, is important cause morbidity/mortality following coronary angiographic procedures in high-risk patients. Despite preventative measures intended to mitigate risk CIN, there remains a need for effective intervention. Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC), where non-injurious ischaemia applied arm prior contrast, has shown promise attenuating CIN but its...
Objectives: In response to a serious incident involving an atrial fibrillation (AF) associated stroke, quality improvement project was established examine and abrogate unnecessary thromboembolic risk in patients presenting with acute AF London’s North Middlesex University Hospital (NMUH). Methods: The complaint examined for 2,105 consecutive medical admissions identify 100 (4.7%) AF. For each patient, 36 indices performance indicators were collected analysed against international standards...
