Joe Basha, CCP discusses the evidence to try and answer the question: Does ultrafiltration on CPB reduce urine output on CPB or contribute to post-op AKI.

John Ingram, CCP discusses how renal blood flow and urine production is affected by cardiopulmonary bypass, inflammatory processes, and disease states. John discusses the use of urine output as a measure of renal function.

Tammy Sparacino, CCP discusses the blood air interface, common to cardiopulmonary bypass, and how this initiates the inflammatory cascade. Tammy also discusses biocompatible surfaces and how these attenuate the inflammatory cascade.

John Ingram, CCP will lecture on oxygen free radicals: What they are, how they affect organs, and how they can be modulated.

Tammy Sparacino, CCP will discuss published data on how to safely reposition a dual lumen ECMO cannula without the need of interrupting flow and replacing the cannula.

Joe Basha, CCP discusses measuring recirculation in an ECMO circuit, and how to read X rays for perfusionist and ECMO specialist.

Joe Basha, CCP will lecture and demonstrate how to incorporate your CRRT circuit into your ECMO circuit and why this can be beneficial.

Tammy Sparacino, CCP reviews the latest peer-reviewed publication on the effects of ECMO on the brain.
