- Abstract
Purpose/goals: Review the clinical benefits of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). With more than 15 years RCA experience, this interactive session will share our experience, the advantages, complications, and protocol. Session description: Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is increasingly becoming an attractive option for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, even with extended filtre life and reduced bleeding complications it is still not the standard of care. This session will simplify the complexity of RCA and discuss the clinical benefits and challenges of this modality. Furthermore, it is designed to provide you with the information you need to safely implement RCA into your practice. With more than 15 years of experience using RCA for CRRT exclusively, we will share with you our lessons learned, advantages and complications. During this session, interactive clickers will be used to engage the audience, along with case study presentations. Learning outcomes: 1. Explain the benefit and criteria for using regional citrate anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy. 2. Apply advanced knowledge of regional citrate anticoagulation to your practice, training, and protocols. 3. Describe complications of regional citrate anticoagulation, strategies to reduce risk and simplify monitoring.
