Abstract 243: Contrast Induced Nephropathy; Out of Sight, Out of Mind [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusions: Shortened hospitalizations decrease the awareness of and preventive treatment for CIN. A multidisciplinary team has identified multiple opportunities for practice improvement: provider education, review of the EHR power plan [for modification of pre and intraprocedural risk factors, implementation of correctly dosed fluid repletion with renal consultation for high risk patients, appropriate follow-up of creatinine], Preprocedural calculation and intraprocedural monitoring to achieve low risk contrast volume [(ml)/eGFR <3.7}, interventional report embedding CIN risk score, EHR tracking and audit to ensure implementation with appropriate feedback as necessary.
