SCCM Resource Library-The Next Frontier in Drug Stewardship: Nephrotoxins

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the concept of nephrotoxin therapy and the importance of drug stewardship in this area. They explain the concept of stewardship, which involves taking care of other people's things, and how in the context of medication, it often becomes more about withholding or preventing the use of certain drugs. The speaker emphasizes the need to reframe the culture around drug stewardship and be more mindful about being caretakers rather than medication police. They also discuss the elements of a nephrotoxin stewardship program and provide four specific examples of where this is being done in current practice. These examples include programs focused on non-critically ill pediatric patients, the use of urinary biomarkers in cardiac surgery patients, high nephrotoxin burden patients in critical care, and care delivery models for acute kidney injury survivors. The speaker concludes by highlighting the importance of comprehensive, patient-centered conversations and the need for resources and tools to support nephrotoxin stewardship efforts.
