> Hydration Strategy: Administer IV 0.9% Normal Saline (or Sodium Bicarbonate) at a rate of 1.0 to 1.5 mL/kg/hour starting 3 to 12 hours prior to the procedure and continuing for 6 to 12 hours post-procedure. If the patient has underlying heart failure, reduce the rate to 0.5 mL/kg/hour to avoid volume overload. Contrast Threshold Formula: To minimize CI-AKI risks, keep the total contrast volume to an eGFR-based ratio of < 3:1. Maximum Vol = 3 × eGFR Maximum Vol = 3 × 32 = 96 mL The team should structure the intervention to stay well below 96 mL of contrast.
