1979-82 SCUF and CAVH used by Paganini
(MD) and Whitman (RN) at
Cleveland Clinic
Continuous arteriovenous approach
first described for treatment of renal
failure
Ultrafiltration isolated from
hemodialysis circuit and the addition
of a hemofilter
Hemofiltration technique proposed

Indications for CRRT in the
Critical Care Setting
Fluid removal
Solute removal
Basic Concepts of CRRT:
Concepts Related to Fluid
Removal or Ultrafiltration
Blood flow
– Arteriovenous
– Venovenous
Hydrostatic pressure
– Arteriovenous
– Venovenous
Other factors
– Hematocrit
– Plasma proteins
– Transmembrane pressure
Basic Concepts of CRRT:
Concepts Related to Solute
Removal or Clearance
Convection – solute drag; hemofiltration
Diffusion – concentration gradient;
hemodiafiltration
Convection
High pressure to
low pressure across
a membrane
Pressure gradient
Solute dissolved in
solvent = solvent
drag
Bulk-flow of solute
across a semipermeable
membrane together
with a solvent in a
manner that is
dependent on
transmembrane
pressure and
membrane
characteristics.
Basic Concepts of CRRT:
Concepts Related to Solute
Removal or Clearance
Convection – solute drag; hemofiltration
Diffusion – concentration gradient;
hemodiafiltration
Diffusion
Describes solute
transport across a
semi-permeable
membrane
generated by a
concentration
gradient.
Hemodiafiltration (HDF)
http://www.usa-gambro.com/upload/Site_us/Patient%Resources/IC/cvvhdf.gif
A technique associated with
high ultrafiltration rates and
diffusion across a highly
permeable membrane.
Blood and dialysate are
circulated as in
hemodialysis, but in addition,
ultrafiltration, in excess of the
scheduled weight loss, is
provided. Replacement fluid
is used to achieve fluid
balance.

Definition of Acronyms and
Terms
SLEDD
slow low efficient daily
dialysis or sustained lowefficiency daily dialysis
Intermittent therapies
Are those usually
prescribed for a
period of 12 hours
or less.
Extended Daily
Dialysis (EDD)
Slow Low Efficiency
Dialysis (SLED)
EDD+SLED=SLEDD
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
Advantages
–
–
–
–
Slower blood flows
Slower UF rates
Adjust UF rates with hourly patient intake
Increased cytokine (bad humors) removal?
Disadvantages
– Prolonged anticoagulation
– Increased cytokine (good humors) removal?
Dialysate
http://www.shodor.org/master/biomed/physio/dialysis/hemodialysis/sixa.htm#hollowfiber
A solution of variable
composition
designed to facilitate
diffusion of solutes
into the ultrafiltratedialysate
compartment of the
hemofilter or
hemodialyzer.
Peritoneal Dialysis
An intracorporeal
therapy where
solute and water are
transported across
the peritoneal
membrane based on
osmotic and
concentration
gradients.
Hemodialysis
An extracorporeal,
primarily diffusive
therapy, where
solute and water are
transported across a
semi-permeable
membrane into
dialysate.
High flux
A dialysis membrane
designed to provide
high water
permeability, thereby
increasing solute
clearance especially
large solute such as
beta-2
microglobulin.
Transmembrane Pressure
The hydrostatic
pressure gradient
across the
membrane. This is
the driving force that
causes ultrafiltration.
The Pediatric Ideal: CRRT
Circuit

Exchangeable components
Biocompatible membrane
The Pediatric Ideal: CRRT
Equipment

each component of CRRT
