ECCO2R in aeCOPD
New Course!
This course will provide an overview of the respiratory system and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), discuss the rational for ECCO2R in acute exacerbation of COPD, explore the determinants for extracorporeal CO2 removal, devices and considerations for ECCO2R use, and evidence for this therapy in COPD.
Fundamentals of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)
Therapeutic plasma exchange, or TPE, is a component of the management of a wide range of clinical conditions. TPE involves the separation and removal of plasma, which often contains pathologically relevant substances, from the other components of blood. This removed volume is accounted for with the infusion of a replacement solution that also has the potential to add individual components that may be absent or deficient in the patient. TPE may be provided with different techniques, and this course has been designed to educate providers on the core aspects of TPE procedures, common clinical indications for this therapeutic approach, potential complications of TPE, and other clinical considerations such as anticoagulation management.

ECMO Physiologic Foundations for Practice-Changing Technology
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, otherwise known as ECMO, is a technique that provides respiratory and/or cardiac support to patients whose own heart and lungs are unable to meet the body’s metabolic demands. The use of this technique has increased dramatically over the past decade, with a wide range of potential clinical applications. This activity is designed to familiarize you with key physiologic principles of respiratory and cardiovascular functions, how common pathologic conditions can disrupt cardiopulmonary function, and the role of ECMO in helping to preserve cardiopulmonary function.
改变临床实践的技术：体外膜肺氧合（ECMO）生理学基础
中文简介：本课程从呼吸和循环系统的功能开始，回顾了肺通气、氧气弥散和组织灌注的生理学基本原理，并描述了病理状况下的呼吸和循环系统以及体外膜肺氧合在保护心肺功能方面的作用。#Chinese
Introduction to Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (CKRT)
This educational course is designed to provide an introductory overview of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), which is commonly used in the critical care setting. Several fundamental concepts will be addressed, including basics of kidney anatomy and function, options for kidney replacement in the critical care setting, fundamental principles governing different CKRT modalities, and a review of potential clinical challenges associated with CKRT. This is an opportunity for clinicians to enhance their familiarity with the terminology of CKRT and gain confidence in the understanding of its goals, mechanisms of action, and circuit components.
连续性肾脏替代治疗(CKRT)简介 #Chinese
本课程从肾脏的基本功能开始作为切入点，介绍了连续性肾脏替代治疗(CKRT)的定义、基本原理、常见模式及适应证和禁忌症的相关基础知识。
Managing Critically Ill Patients with CKRT
This course will provide an overview of the current critical care landscape, discuss three kidney replacement therapies (KRTs) used in the critical care setting, summarize the KDIGO guidelines on use of modalities in critically ill patients, describe five factors that impact filter life in continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) and major causes of acute kidney injury (AKI).
Incorporation of ECMO in the Management of Patients with COVID-19
This comprehensive roundtable discussion is developed to empower practicing clinicians with the most up-to-date clinical evidence surrounding the utilization of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. By the end of this course, participants will know how to navigate the unique cardiopulmonary and coagulation-related challenges presented by COVID-19, informed by the latest research findings and landmark studies. This course will also provide insights into the evolving clinical landscape related to ECMO application in COVID-19, guiding clinicians in shaping effective protocols for its use. Attendees will gain the expertise required to develop evidence-based strategies for managing ECMO-associated complications in COVID-19 patients, ensuring improved patient outcomes and enhanced clinical practice.
