Abstract Purpose of review This review addresses the growing concern over nosocomial infections in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and/or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). As the use of..
Read MoreAbstract Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in pediatric patients presents many challenges, including management of a large extracorporeal volume (ECV) and calcium replacement for patients who may not be able to..
Read MoreAbstract Background It is common for patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) to require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This can be done using separate vascular access for..
Read MoreAbstract Critically ill patients sometimes require tandem application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) which is easier and cheaper. We aimed to transform the kidney..
Read MoreAbstract During artificial organ support, kidney injury is multifactorial and related to the high severity of patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The successful delivery of continuous renal replacement..
Read MoreAbstract Fluid overload is common among pediatric cardiac patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and is often treated with in-line ultrafiltration (UF) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We assessed whether..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients receiving venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) can be accessed via separate venous access (SVA) or directly “in-line” within the ECMO circuit...
Read MoreAbstract Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI), requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). In our clinical practice, we connected the inlet line of..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy utilized for patients with severe life-threatening cardiorespiratory failure. Patients treated with ECMO are among the most severely ill encountered in critical..
Read MoreExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in critically ill patients presenting acute cardiac and/or pulmonary dysfunctions, who are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury and fluid overload. Continuous..
Read MoreJoe Basha, CCP discusses the use of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy CRRT in the critical care unit and how in selected patients, CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) may be superior..
Read MoreSuper lecture and discussion around management of the Critical Care Unit patient. Common problems if the ICU patient. What is the role of the CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy).
