Renal/Pulmonary Critical Care

Renal/Pulmonary Critical Care, the current release of ACCP’s Critical Care Self-Assessment Program (CCSAP), presents the most up-to-date evidence of importance and relevance to the clinical practitioner caring for patients with renal or pulmonary complications in the critical care setting. Two modules offering a total of 12.5 continuing pharmacy education credits comprise the book.

Chapter topics covered in the Renal Critical Care module are as follows:

• Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
• Dosing Considerations in AKI and CRRT

Chapter topics covered in the Pulmonary Critical Care module are as follows:

• ARDS and ECMO
• COPD, Status Asthmaticus, and Pulmonary Hypertention

CCSAP offers high-quality content. Chapters provide graphic features highlighting pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points for integration into clinical practice. Fully referenced, the chapters include hypertext links to clinical practice guidelines and select resources as well as to literature compilers such as PubMed for ready access to key studies on the subject matter. Each chapter includes application-based self-assessment questions designed to assess the learner’s mastery and application of knowledge gained to patient care and practice scenarios. A sample chapter on acute kidney injury is available at www.accp.com/docs/bookstore/ccsap/c17b2_sample.pdf.
