Based on the results of this audit, all major bleeding events occurred within 6 hours of a percutaneous kidney biopsy, suggesting that patients should be monitored for 6 to 8 hours following biopsy. The next step after this quality assurance audit is a quality improvement project and a cost-effectiveness analysis to assess whether post-biopsy practices should be amended at the McGill University Health Center.
