ECMO, AKI, and RRT

This high-profile symposium focuses on the clinical implementation of the recently published 2026 ADQI-ELSO joint consensus. The session is designed to deliver a highly practical approach to navigating complex bedside decisions in critically ill patients requiring extracorporeal life support.

Leading international experts will address the diagnostic limitations of standard KDIGO criteria during ECMO, structured strategies for fluid balance assessment, and key operational aspects including RRT-ECMO circuit configurations, anticoagulation, and quality metrics. The session will conclude with a panel discussion aimed at refining current consensus and identifying priorities for future clinical trials.
