ELECTIVE PRE-CONFERENCE AKI SYMPOSIUM
sponsored by:
The UAB-UCSD O’Brien Core Center for Acute Kidney
Injury Research
PW1: 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.
*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.
FUL DAY 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 to acquire or refresh skills with different CRRT techniques and
equipment. Workshops will take place on Tuesday, February 16, 2016, see program
for times.
PW2: Practice Based Learning in CRRT: The Science and the Art
This workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and understanding
for decision making for the effective utilization of CRRT to manage critically
ill patients. The workshop will utilize case based discussions to illustrate
the underlying concepts for application of CRRT. All participants will be provided
access to digital media describing the basic concepts of CRRT and will be expected
to have reviewed this material prior to the workshop. Delegates will participate
in group exercises to apply their learning for the management of complex cases.
At the end of this workshop participants will have an improved understanding
of how to utilize CRRT for optimizing renal support. A quiz will be administered
pre-and post- course for assessment.
Full Day
MEET THE EXPERT
Limited to the first 30 delegates per session, includes breakfast. These sessions
(choose from 2 on Wed. & Thurs.) allow participants to meet and interact with
internationally renowned experts in an informal setting over breakfast. This
is an excellent opportunity to ask questions, learn how these experts manage
patients, get guidance for projects and network. Cost is $50
per session. Sessions are being planned now.
SPECIAL LUNCHEON SYMPOSIA
Lunches on Wednesday and Thursday are included with registration. RSVP is required
and is completed during registration. Seating is limited in Forum and Focus
Group Luncheons (these luncheons are in addition to the standard conference
lunches). Topics and times to posted soon.
REGISTRATION AWARDS FOR FELLOWS IN
TRAINING, NURSES AND ALLIED PROFESSIONALS
Fellows in an accredited training program, Nurses
and Allied Professionals who submit a poster abstract to be
presented at the CRRT Conference may be eligible to apply for Registration Awards
for the conference. Sponsorship for the awards is currently being sought and
will be announced soon. Awards will be based on the quality and relevance of
the research as judged by the abstract review committee. Recipients are required
to be present at their poster sessions on Tuesday, February 16, 2016 and Wednesday,
February 17, 2016.
CONFERENCE LEARNER OBJECTIVES
The AKI & 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 and simulation based workshops.
Attendees have an opportunity to interact with the faculty through focused panel
discussions and symposia. Oral and poster presentations and pre-conference hands
on workshops 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 pathophysiology and management of critically
ill patients with a focus on fluid resuscitation, hemodynamic monitoring, pharmacological
therapy and extracorporeal support.
2. Discuss the optimal ways to diagnose, treat and follow up patients with acute
kidney injury utilizing biomarkers, imaging and lab studies.
3. Describe the principles and practice of renal replacement techniques including
CRRT, PD and Plasma exchange and demonstrate how to setup and use these techniques
for managing 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
