Renal Replacement Therapy
exp date isn't null, but text field is
Abstract
Renal replacement therapies are commonly used in the ICU to remove excess fluid and clear the blood of endogenous and exogenous toxins. This ICU OnePager explains the physics & physiology of dialysis, discussing the key concepts (dialysis = diffusion, hemofiltration/ultrafiltration = convection) and the components of the dialysis circuit (pumps, dialyzer, dialysis solution, replacement fluid, etc). It also reviews all the confusing modes of dialysis: IHD, SLED, and CRRT including SCUF, CVVHF, CVVHD, and CVVHDF.
