More than 50% of patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) in the ICU during critical illness. Mortality among patients with AKI and multiorgan failure in the ICU is reported to exceed 50%. Understanding physiologic interactions between the kidney and other organs, including the heart and lungs, is of utmost importance to streamline management strategies during AKI. Approximately 2% to 30% of AKI survivors in the ICU progress to end-stage renal disease. Patients who recover renal function during their ICU stay also have a significant risk of developing progressive renal dysfunction. This half-day course will review these complex interactions and explore appropriate and timely diagnostic tools and adjusting therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes in patients with AKI.
Precision medicine is only beginning to be realized for sepsis management. Differing methodologies for precision medicine delivery will be discussed with areas for future development.
Electronic health record (EHR) data can be used to enhance clinical care and facilitate research. This online course offers strategies for using EHR data to inform clinical decision-making, identify barriers, and develop mitigation strategies. Real-life examples from the ICU are offered to demonstrate effective management of patients and resources. Earn up to 4 hours of accredited continuing education credit.
