PRE-CONFERENCE CRRT WORKSHOP (CME Available with Fee)
This elective workshop will take place on Sunday and Monday, March 2 & 3, 2025. Registration is available for an additional fee (subject to change).

Practice Based Learning in CRRT: The Science and the Art
This workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and understanding for decision making for the effective utilization of CRRT to manage critically ill patients. The workshop will utilize case based discussions to illustrate the underlying concepts for application of CRRT. Delegates will participate in group exercises to apply their learning for the management of complex cases. At the end of this workshop participants will have an improved understanding of how to utilize CRRT for optimizing renal support. A quiz will be administered pre-and post-course for assessment.

POCUS WORKSHOP (CME Available with Fee)
This elective workshop will take place on Monday, March 3, 2025. Registration is available for an additional fee.

Point-Of-Care Ultrasound

This course is designed for nephrology and critical care providers to learn the basics of Point-Of-Care Ultrasound with a specific focus on frequent pathologies found in acutely ill patients. This workshop will include brief didactic session and hands-on sessions. At the end of this workshop, the trainees will have basic knowledge about indications for Point-Of-Care ultrasound, normal/abnormal findings, and the introductory practical skills necessary to continue their training autonomously. See the program for topics and schedule.

PRE-CONFERENCE AKI SYMPOSIUM (Non-CME)
Sponsored by:
The UAB-UCSD O’Brien Core Center for Acute Kidney Injury Research

This elective symposium will take place on Monday, March 3, 2025. Registration is available for an additional fee. You may register to attend only this Symposium without attending the full AKI & CRRT Conference.

Changing Paradigms in Acute Kidney Injury: From Mechanisms to Management
Acute Kidney Injury is a rapidly evolving area where several advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms and pathways of AKI and its effects on other organs. Recent identification of biomarkers has provided new tools and techniques to characterize this disorder. This pre-course workshop will provide a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in the field and describe emerging knowledge from basic and translational research. Results from clinical trials will be discussed to define the best strategies for effective management of patients and define the criteria for future studies. Full conference registration is not required to attend this symposium.

NEXUS WORKSHOP (Non-CME)
This elective symposium will take place on Sunday, March 2, 2025. Registration is available for an additional fee.

Introduction to the NEXUS – Pediatric Collaboratives
Progress to improve care for children with critical care nephrology related illnesses continues.To continue a movement towards collaborative innovation, education, and study, the NEXUS is a symposium to focus the global approach to care for critically ill neonates and children. NEXUS is a joint session between all pediatric critical care nephrology care providers, industry partners, and thought leaders in the spaces of diagnostics, therapeutics, advocacy, and education.

MEET THE EXPERT
Seating is Limited. These elective breakfast sessions (choose from 2 on Tue., Wed. & Thurs.) allow participants to meet and interact with internationally renowned experts in an informal roundtable session. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions, learn how these experts manage patients, get guidance for projects and network. These sessions are available for an additional fee of $60.00.

INDUSTRY SESSIONS (Optional, Non-CME)
Optional sessions are presented by industry representatives to bring you the latest information from related organizations. These sessions are selected during the registration process and are available during the morning and lunch time sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday.

CONFERENCE LEARNER OBJECTIVES

The AKI & CRRT conference provides a comprehensive review of advances in clinical care, research and technology in critical care medicine with a focus on the kidney and renal support techniques. The conference is designed to facilitate interdisciplinary interactions among caregivers involved in the management of patients in intensive care units. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and other allied personnel from industry have opportunities to learn from each other. The conference utilizes a combination of invited lectures; case based small group workshops, debates, hands on interactive and simulation based workshops. Attendees have an opportunity to interact with the faculty through focused panel discussions and symposia.

At the end of this conference attendees should be able to:

1. Describe the recent advances in the pathophysiology and management of critically ill patients with a focus on sepsis, multi-organ failure, infections, lung and kidney injury in different settings.

2. Discuss the best ways to identify, treat and follow up patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from different causes utilizing biomarkers, imaging and lab studies and applying educational tools to raise awareness of AKI.

3. Describe the principles and practice of renal replacement techniques including CRRT, IHD and plasma exchange and demonstrate how to setup and use these techniques for managing critically ill patients.

ACCREDITATION
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and will be reviewed once the Agenda has been planned.
