Metric 39 PCI In-hospital Risk-Adjusted Acute Kidney Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is the first lesson of a learning activity module called the CATH PCI Registry, Metric 39. The lesson is narrated by John Giroud. It discusses the topic of acute kidney injury (AKI) after PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention), which is a common and serious complication associated with increased risks of heart attack, dialysis, and death. The lesson emphasizes the importance of AKI prediction and prevention since treatment options are limited once AKI develops. Metric 39 provides risk-adjusted feedback on AKI to inform clinical decision-making and improve the safety of PCI procedures. Lesson 1 covers an overview of metric 39, the definition of AKI, patient eligibility, patient variables utilized by metric 39, and key resources for understanding metric 39. The lesson also includes case scenarios to apply the knowledge. The first scenario involves a male patient who undergoes a PCI procedure and meets the criteria for metric 39. The second scenario involves a female patient who is on dialysis, making her ineligible for metric 39. The third scenario involves a male patient with chronic kidney disease who undergoes an attempted PCI procedure, making him eligible for metric 39. The lesson concludes with a call to click on the next lesson. No additional credits were mentioned.
