Automated Prediction and Prevention of Contrast Induced Nephropathy After Cardiac Catheterization

The computer-based contrast induced nephropathy (CBCIN) risk score and associated standard hydration strategy will be displayed on a monitor in front of the treating interventional cardiologist during the entirety of the PCI case. Since this scoring system and hydration strategy are both available in the peer-reviewed literature, clinical use of these data and implementation of a CIN-avoidance strategy is not experimental; however, the display of these data to interventional cardiologists is experimental. Based on exposure to these data, the treating interventional cardiologist may use the information as clinically appropriate (i.e. it is not the basis for clinical decisions).
