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.

• Half day of in-person education

• Why is the definition of AKI wrong?
• Why do we now care about fluid overload so much?
• Can biomarkers be used to manage patients instead of just for prediction of AKI?
• De-resuscitation
• Teamwork makes the dream work in critical care nephrology
• Practical management of kidney dysfunction in critically ill patients: drugs, nutrition, and fluid

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.

• Half day of in-person education

Explore venoarterial and venovenous ECMO concepts using patient case scenarios during this two-day course. In a small group setting, participants have an opportunity for interactive learning and troubleshooting of clinical cases. This course is structured for multiprofessional learning at various stages of experience. Learners should have completed the ELSO Virtual ECMO Training Course or have a strong foundational knowledge of ECMO patient care.
