Inflammatory Marker Trend during oXiris Hemoadsorption in Critically Ill Children Requiring Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy: A Case Series

Ting-Yuan Chang Presenter The Critical Initiation: Circuit Priming & Hemodynamic ManagementThis workshop addresses the critical first steps of initiating continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) in pediatric patients. Topics include selecting an appropriate CKRT machine, determining hemofilter size, and designing the extracorporeal circuit. Special emphasis is placed on preventing hemodynamic instability during blood priming and circuit initiation, including calculation of the patient's circulating blood volume relative to the extracorporeal volume to avoid hypovolemic shock from excessive extracorporeal blood sequestration. Participants will learn practical decision-making frameworks for safe circuit priming strategies tailored to children of different body sizes.
