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.
Explore venoarterial and venovenous ECMO concepts using patient case scenarios during this two-day course.

Receive a comprehensive introduction to hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients. Course content covers basic principles of hemodynamics and shock management, concepts of functional hemodynamic monitoring and assessment of fluid responsiveness, and cardiovascular pharmacology. Assessment of tissue perfusion, technical aspects of monitoring, and consideration of strengths and weaknesses of various invasive and noninvasive monitoring devices will also be covered. After viewing the presentations online, attend the half-day interactive skills session that will focus on hemodynamic monitoring devices, such as noninvasive devices, invasive pulse volume devices, pulmonary artery catheters, and interactive cases in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” format.
