Requirements for CRRT• CRRT requires:
• A central double-lumen veno-venous hemodialysis catheter
• An extracorporeal circuit and a hemofilter
• A blood pump and a effluent pump. • With specific CRRT therapies dialysate and/or replacement pumps are required.

Transport mechanism: UltrafiltrationTransport mechanism: Ultrafiltration
• The movement of fluid through a semi-permeable membrane driven by a pressure gradient (hydrostatic pressure). The effluent pump forces plasma water and solutes across the membrane in the filter.
• This transport mechanism is used in SCUF, CVVH, CVVHD, and CVVHDF.

CVVHD-Diffusion
•Continuous veno-venous hemodialysis•Requires the use of blood, effluent and dialysis pumps.
•Replacement solution is not required.•Plasma water and solutes are removed by diffusion and ultrafiltration.
![Page 16: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
306100135©
Transport Mechanisms: Diffusion
• Removal of small molecules by diffusion through the addition of dialysate to the fluid side of the filter.
• Dialysate is used to create a concentration gradient across a semi permeable membrane
• Dialysis uses a semi permeable membrane for selected diffusion
• This transport mechanism is used in:
• CVVHD • CVVHDF
![Page 17: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
306100135©
Dialysate Solutions
• Through diffusion, dialysate corrects underlying metabolic problems
• Dialysate is dependent on buffering agent, electrolytes, and glucose
• Dialysate formulas should reflect normal plasma values to achieve homeostasis

Principles of CRRT clearance
• CRRT clearance of solute is dependent on the following:• The molecule size of the solute• The pore size of the semi-permeable
membrane • The higher the ultrafiltration rate (UFR), the
greater the solute clearance.

306100135©
Principles of CRRT clearance
• Small molecules easily pass through a membrane driven by diffusion and convection.
• Middle and large size molecules are cleared primarily by convection.
• Semi-permeable membrane remove solutes with a molecular weight of up to 50,000 Daltons.
• Plasma proteins or substances highly protein—bound will not be cleared.
![Page 34: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
306100135©
Principles of CRRT clearance• Sieving Coefficient
• The ability of a substance to pass through a membrane from the blood compartment of the hemofilter to the fluid compartment.
• A sieving coefficient of 1 will allow free passage of a substance; but at a coefficient of 0, the substance is unable to pass.
• .94 Na+• 1.0 K+• 1.0 Cr• 0 albumin will not pass
![Page 35: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
306100135©
Vascular Access
•A veno-venous double lumen hemodialysis catheter or two single lumen venous hemodialysis catheters may be used.
![Page 36: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
306100135©
Access Location• Internal Jugular Vein
• Primary site of choice due to lower associated risk of complication and simplicity of catheter insertion.
• Femoral Vein• Patient immobilized, the femoral vein is optimal and
constitutes the easiest site for insertion. • Subclavin Vein
• The least preferred site given its higher risk of pneumo/hemothorax and its association with central venous stenosis.
![Page 37: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
306100135©
Choosing the right catheter•The length of the catheter chosen will depend upon the site used
• Size of the catheter is important in the pediatric population.
•The following are suggested guidelines for the different sites:•RIJ= 15 cm French•LIJ= 20 cm French•Femoral= 25 cm French
![Page 38: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basic Therapy Principles](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5519c65e550346b55b8b45c2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Conclusions:
An increased treatment dose from 20 ml/h/kg to 35 ml/h/kg significantly improved survival.
A delivery of 45ml/kg/hr did not result in further benefit in terms of survival, but in the septic patient an improvement was observed.
Our data suggest an early initiation of treatment and a minimum dose delivery of 35 ml/h/kg (ex. 70 kg patient = 2450 ml/h) improve patient survival rate.

Renal Recovery?
CRRT does affect resumption of function.

By avoiding hypotensive episodes, the risk of further kidney damage is reduced and the chance for renal
recovery is enhanced

CRRT vs. IHD in Renal Recovery
Recent studies suggest that CRRT is superior to IHD with respect to recovery of renal function
Implications go far beyond just “hard” endpoint of renal recovery
• Need for chronic dialysis impairs quality of life• If length of stay (LOS) in ICU can be reduced this will have a
major impact on hospital budget• Patients dependent on chronic dialysis will consume significant
health care resources and have an impact on the community health care budget
