Continuing Education Information:
Explore controversial, cutting-edge, and timely topics that are directly applicable to the care of critically ill patients during this full-day course. The course content will engage participants in a variety of didactic and panel discussions on new initiatives in the diagnosis, management, and prognostication of coma patients; acute respiratory distress syndrome; toxidromes and illicit drug abuse in the ICU, acute mechanical circulatory support; and more. After the course, attendees will have access to extended presentations along with seven additional presentations not covered during the in-person course.
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.
