| Sumario: | Improving Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) Outcomes in Neonates and Infants Through Interdisciplinary Collaboration (ICONIIC) is a multicenter quality improvement and research registry. We aimed to identify programmatic structures and educational practices for neonatal and infant CKRT. A survey focusing on care delivery and models, units offering therapy, staff-to-patient ratios, and education protocols was distributed to institutions in ICONIIC using the Carpediem™ machine. Of the 13 responding sites, 11 used the Carpediem™ machine in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (ICUs), 9 in Neonatal ICUs, and 8 in Cardiac ICUs. A collaborative care model was most common (69.2%). While education practices varied, all sites required nurse-specific training, and all but one mandated provider oversight during CKRT initiation. Understanding these practices may inform best practices for neonatal and infant CKRT.
