Outpatient Dehydration Management Post-Bariatric Surgery

    Good afternoon! 

    I am looking to connect with individuals whose institutions have an active bariatric surgery program and offer a non-ED pathway to fluid replenishment post-surgically. We are currently considering what might be required to treat patients who meet mild- to moderate- acute kidney injury criteria, specifically in an outpatient, non-urgent setting. Any insights into what others are doing that safely treats patients outside of emergency departments would be much appreciated!

    Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
