Stuart Goldstein, MD is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati, where he serves as the Clark D. West Endowed Chair. He is a practicing pediatric nephrologist at Cincinnati Childrenâs where he also is the Director for the Center for Acute Care Nephrology and the Medical Director for the Pheresis Service. Dr Goldstein is the Founder and Principal Investigator for the Prospective Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury Research Group and has evaluated novel urinary AKI biomarkers in the pediatric critical care setting.
Dr. Katherine Melink (at time of recording) is currently finishing her residency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital where she was able to conduct research in biomarkers for the prediction of kidney injury in critically ill children (particularly in the CICU). Her exposure to CRRT under physicians like Dr. Goldstein at Cincinnati Children's has served as a motivating factor to participate in this episode! She is excited to start PICU fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital in July.
Learning Objectives:By the end of this podcast, listeners should be able to discuss:
CRRT fundamentals, including how it differs from conventional hemodialysis and the rationale for its use in critically ill pediatric patients.Key differences in ultrafiltration, diffusion, and convection and their clinical applications in CRRT.Patient selection and indications for CRRT (AKI, fluid overload, toxic metabolite/ingestion among others)Key evidence guiding use of CRRT in critically ill children.Components of a CRRT prescription and guiding principles of how to titrate therapy.Pitfalls and complications of CRRTCommon anticoagulation strategies in CRRTGeneral principles guiding liberation from CRRT.
