Deep Dive: Saving the Kidneys-The Team-Based Mission of AKI

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Team-based care is crucial in the treatment of AKI patients, who often require complex interventions and technologies. It involves combining the expertise of various healthcare professionals, including nurses, pharmacists, physicians, nephrologists, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitation specialists. Collaborative care enables the sharing of knowledge and skills, aligns patient care goals, and promotes mutual respect among team members. Studies have shown that team-based care leads to improved patient outcomes, such as better renal function, lower blood pressure, improved glycemic control, reduced mortality and hospitalization rates, decreased adverse drug events, and improved nutritional status. Despite resource limitations, it's essential to prioritize and invest in team-based care to optimize patient outcomes in AKI.
