Acute Kidney Injury

To assist clinicians in bringing existing guidelines and best practice recommendations to the bedside, ERAS Cardiac has created a series of "Turnkey Order Sets". These order sets have been created following review of the existing evidence, and provide a guide for implementation of these ERAS elements.

Turnkey Order Set (TKO) Methodology

To assist with implementation of cardiac enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), we have created a sample turn key order set (TKO). The order set has been translated by subject matter experts using accumulated evidence, peer-reviewed literature, and current enhanced recovery practices.

Orders derived from Class I or IIA recommendations across all referenced guidelines and consensus manuscripts appear in the TKO in bold type.

Selected orders that were inconsistently Class I or IIA, Class IIB, or supported by evidence published in peer-reviewed journals, were also included in italicized type.

Decisions regarding order inclusion were made based on estimated benefit, risk, cost, implementation complexity, and generalizability. Each of these orders should be considered based on local institutional priorities, resources, practices, and expertise.

The Turnkey Order Set PDF in this module is intended for use by ERAS Cardiac Society Members to assist in building order sets at their own institution. They are permitted to be downloaded.
