Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and is associated with poor patient outcomes, which in some cases appear associated with deficiencies in the provision of care. Care bundles (CBs) are a structured set of practices designed to improve the processes of care delivery and ultimately patient outcomes, and there have been some demonstrations of their utility in areas such as ventilator-associated pneumonia and in sepsis management. While there is a strong rationale for their use, the evidence base around AKI CBs is small but growing. Here, we review the existing data on the effectiveness of AKI CB and discuss optimal approaches to their future study.
