The 4th International Symposium on AKI in Children is hosted by Cincinnati Children's Heart Institute and Center for Acute Care Nephrology.

What CRRT University™ participants are saying
about their experience

• “I thought the training provided a 'realistic' view.”

• “The ONE most important thing learned was troubleshooting CRRT alarms, evidence to initiate procedure earlier in renal failure patients, pre-dilution vs post-dilution fluids, and alarm management.”

• “I learned many tips about trouble shooting the machine.”  

• “I now know how to better address alarms. Sometimes you simply don’t have a CRRT orientation experience that allows you to do much "troubleshooting" so the course allowed me to practice a lot of that, for example, the dialysate weight alarm troubleshooting.”  

• “The ONE most important thing learned was developing a yearly competency surrounding CRRT for all PICU nurses.”
