Clinical Practice Session
Unraveling the Secrets of Complicated Extracorporeal Circuits: Maze to Mastery
October 25, 2024 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Room 6B, Convention Center
Session Description
With the evolution in extracorporeal technology, circuits typically reserved for "regular" dialysis do not look like they used to. Dialysis machines are being used for nondialysis intentions (e.g., blood purification for sepsis), and dialyzers are being connected to other nondialysis technologies (e.g., extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO], selective cytopheretic device [SCD], blood purification systems). Nephrology care providers are often at the center of the clinical and technical appropriateness of these decisions and thus require familiarity with the clinical and logistical considerations.
Learning Objective(s)
- Analyze the clinical appropriateness of using dialysis machines for nondialysis intentions and connecting dialyzers to other technologies such as ECMO, SCD, and blood purification systems
- Define the key components and characteristics of complicated extracorporeal circuits
- Describe the multidisciplinary responsibilities and system-level considerations in managing complicated extracorporeal circuits
Learning Pathway(s)
- AKI and Critical Care
