abstract = {Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the preemptive renal replacement therapy (RRT) might improve outcomes in post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) patients.
Methods: In Period A (September 2014–April 2016), patients with PCCS received RRT, depending on conventional indications or bedside attendings. In Period B (May 2016–November 2017), the preemptive RRT strategy was implemented in all PCCS patients in our intensive care unit. The goal-directed RRT was applied for the RRT patients. The hospital mortality and renal recovery were compared between the two periods.
Results: A total of 155 patients (76 patients in Period A and 79 patients in Period B) were ultimately enrolled in this study. There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics and intraoperative and postoperative parameters between the two groups. The duration between surgery and RRT initiation was significantly shorter in Period B than in Period A [23 (17, 66) vs. 47 (20, 127) h, P},
