CRRT & Advanced Renal Support Workshop
Practical Renal Replacement Therapy for the Modern ICU
Step into an immersive, clinically focused workshop dedicated to Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) and advanced extracorporeal renal support in critically ill patients. Designed for intensivists, nephrologists, anesthesiologists, critical care trainees, emergency physicians, perfusionists, and ICU nurses, this workshop delivers a comprehensive understanding of renal support strategies through expert lectures, case-based discussions, live demonstrations, and hands-on stations.
Participants will gain practical insight into:
- Principles of Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)
- Indications and timing of dialysis initiation in ICU
- Selection of modes and modalities
- SLED and Peritoneal Dialysis in critically ill patients
- CRRT intricacies including CVVH, CVVHD, and CVVHDF
- ICU-based CRRT and SLED prescription strategies
- Anticoagulation approaches including citrate-based protocols
- Adequacy assessment and structured CRRT weaning
- Troubleshooting common CRRT challenges and alarms
- Hybrid CRRT approaches in complex ICU scenarios
- Principles and practice of plasmapheresis (PLEX)
High-Yield Clinical Case Discussions
Real-world ICU cases will help participants integrate physiology, hemodynamics, and extracorporeal support strategies in challenging situations including:
- Renal and hepatic failure
- Cardio-renal syndromes
- Traumatic brain injury with AKI
- Pregnancy-related AKI
Experience detailed demonstrations covering:
Exclusive Live/Video Demonstrations
-
CRRT priming and circuit setup
-
Machine workflow and troubleshooting
-
Filter and dialyser handling
-
CRRT–ECMO integration strategies
-
Practical plasmapheresis setup and conduct
Interactive Hands-On Stations
Dedicated skill stations will provide practical exposure to:
- Priming and troubleshooting of CRRT circuits
- PLEX workflow
- Dialyser and filter selection
- CRRT prescription optimization
- Circuit management and alarm handling
This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between renal physiology, extracorporeal technology, and bedside ICU application, enabling participants to confidently manage renal support therapies in critically ill patients.
