This presentation will discuss how an acute care hospital utilized Prolonged Intermittent Renal Kidney Therapy (PIKRT) as a transitional dialysis program after disruption of traditional hemodialysis. The process improvement workout, policy development, education and training processes will be reviewed. PLEASE NOTE: CE credits not available for viewing this recorded webinar.

Are you ready to deepen your understanding of Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (CKRT) and its pivotal role in transplant medicine? Join us for an enlightening On-Demand webinar designed specifically for healthcare providers involved in transplant care where we will deliver expert insights on CKRT, as well as real-life experiences.

This recorded webinar will provide a comprehensive summary of the current literature on fluid management in critically ill patients receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. It will cover nuances of fluid removal and fluid balance in the clinical setting and discuss several key clinical trials that are currently underway in this domain.

Key technical considerations include selecting biocompatible materials for ECMO components and optimizing flow dynamics to reduce shear stress. Monitoring involves regularly checking coagulation markers, platelet counts, and haemolysis indicators to detect and manage thrombotic or bleeding events. Observing circuit components, flow- and pressure changes during treatment and if necessary, replacing components can avoid complications and improve device performance.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique used to provide temporary respiratory and/or cardiac support in critically ill patients that includes a mechanical pump and oxygenator connected to patients. Anticoagulation therapy with specific monitoring is required to prevent clot formation in the ECMO circuit; however, reports have explored the feasibility of conducting ECMO without anticoagulation in patients at high risk of bleeding.

This recorded webinar will explore how to use information from ECMO systems to: · Gain insight from ECMO system trends designed to improve troubleshooting and keep your patient on support · Support your ability to manage both the ECMO circuit and patient · Augment your programs’ ECMO training to compress new ECMO Specialist’s learning curve PLEASE NOTE: CE credits not available for viewing this recorded webinar.
