PRE-CONFERENCE AKI SYMPOSIUM
sponsored by:
The UAB-UCSD O’Brien Core Center for Acute Kidney
Injury Research
Changing Paradigms in Acute Kidney Injury:
From Mechanisms to Management
Acute Kidney Injury is a rapidly evolving area where several advances have been
made in understanding the mechanisms and pathways of AKI and its effects on
other organs. Recent identification of biomarkers has provided new tools and
techniques to characterize this disorder. This pre-course workshop will provide
a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in the field and describe
emerging knowledge from basic and translational research. Results from clinical
trials will be discussed to define the best strategies for effective management
of patients and define the criteria for future studies.
Full Day
*CRRT Conference Registration NOT Required for this
symposium. A $30 discount will be given to attendees that register for the CRRT
Conference. To receive the discount you must sign up for this workshop at the
same time you register for the conference (valid for full price registrations
only.)
ELECTIVE WORKSHOPS
A variety of elective workshops are available and will have limited enrollment
to maximize opportunity for each participant. These workshops are a unique opportunity

will take place on Tuesday, March 4, 2014, see program for times.
HW1: Fundamentals of CRRT
This workshop offers an introduction to CRRT techniques and is developed to
provide a core set of information on the principles and practice of CRRT. The
operating characteristics of CRRT techniques for solute and fluid management,
drug management will be discussed along with the potential applications of these
techniques. Requirements for developing a successful CRRT program and selecting
machines will also be described.
Full Day
HW2: Pediatric Hands-On Workshop
This workshop will focus upon the practical aspects of care including clinical
program development, discussion of various models of ICU and Nephrology medical
nursing care and hands on machine setup and operation.
Half Day
HW3: Hemodynamic Monitoring and Use of Drugs
Critically ill Patients require frequent assessments and monitoring of hemodynamic
and respiratory parameters to optimize stability and guide ventilator support.
Several techniques are now available and utilized to manage patients including
devices to assess the microcirculation, volume responsiveness and cardiac performance.
This workshop will cover the principles and strategies for hemodynamic and microcirculatory
monitoring in critically ill patients.
Half Day
ELECTIVE INDUSTRY WORKSHOP (Non-CME)
IND1: Gambro Hands-On Physician’s Workshop:
Practical CRRT - The Nuts and Bolts
Through case studies, lecture and Prismaflex System hands-on practice, this workshop will
provide practical approaches to prescribing and delivering CRRT with Gambro’s leading CRRT system.
Half Day - Non-CME

CONFERENCE LEARNER OBJECTIVES
The CRRT conference provides a comprehensive review of advances in clinical
care, research and technology in critical care medicine with a focus on the
kidney and renal support techniques. The conference is designed to facilitate
interdisciplinary interactions among caregivers involved in the management of
patients in intensive care units. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists
and other allied personnel from industry have opportunities to learn from each
other. The conference utilizes a combination of invited lectures; case based
small group workshops, debates, hands on interactive workshops and focused panel
discussions coupled with oral and poster presentations to provide a wide variety
of opportunities for CME credits.
At the end of this conference attendees should be able to:
1. Describe the recent advances in the management of critically ill patients
with sepsis, acute kidney injury and multiorgan failure
2. Discuss the optimal ways to diagnose, treat and follow up patients with acute
kidney injury
3. Recognize the best practices for utilizing CRRT techniques for renal support
in critically ill patients
ACCREDITATION
This activity will be planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential
Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
