Practice-Oriented Management of Acute Dialysis in Cardiac Surgery Patients: Strategies and Challenges in Clinical Practice
Speaker: Ap. Prof. PD DDr. Martin Bernardi
Date: January 14, 2025
Time: 16:30 CET
Join Professor Bernardi from Vienna for an informative webinar on the management of acute dialysis in cardiac surgery patients. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of current clinical practices, identify existing gaps, and discuss potential approaches to improve the quality of renal replacement therapy.
AKI is not limited to emergency cases; it also affects a substantial number of elective cardiac surgery patients. This webinar will shed light on the complexities surrounding AKI in this patient population, addressing critical aspects such as:
- Indications for renal replacement therapy
- Timing for dialysis initiation and modalities
- Challenges in timing for dialysis discontinuation
While current approaches to acute dialysis in cardiac surgery patients are well-established, there remain opportunities to refine strategies, particularly in determining the optimal timing for initiating and discontinuing renal replacement therapy.
Professor Bernardi will present recent research on Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid), a biomarker showing promise in identifying optimal timing for discontinuing continuous renal replacement therapy in cardiac surgery patients with AKI. This landmark study, presented at international conferences and recently published, explores penKid's potential to refine current acute dialysis management strategies.
