Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear that things are not setup well where you are when it comes to being able to effectively care for these patients.

The first place I started doing CRRT was Heparin syringes, and I'm glad those days are over!

Hey, thank you Astrid. So the problem with the more practical videos is 2 part... 1) Having access to the equipment to be able to actually film things. Unfortunately I can't just go into the hospital and use the equipment for my own personal purpose. 2) These videos have a wide reach, not just around the US but around the world. I try and generalize as best I can on a lot of topics as some people use different equipment, but the same fundamentals apply. Hope that makes sense. I get the request. I just don't know if its best for this channel.

I did wonder since this video is 3 years old, is calcium citrate still being used? it seems like such a great option, but being back only 6 months, I don't see it in many order sets anymore. Just wondering if research changed or its just the doctors at my hospital. Thank you so much!

How can I tell the difference between the CRRT Heparin syringe (systemic anticoag), vs the Heparin given pre-filter (regional anticoag)?? During my orientation we used a Heparin syringe only attached to a slot on the Prismaflex but how can I tell if the CRRT Heparin is going pre-filter or post filter. And we didnt use any Protamine.
@ICUAdvantage Жыл бұрын
Hey Karen, so the built in syringe delivers the heparin pre filter. Systemic anticoagulation would just be a regular heparin infusion you'd be giving to the patient like normal.
@Nursevive2 жыл бұрын
Hi. Do we need to follow the Baxter recommendation that filter should change every 72 hrs? since we are using citrate/ca anticiloagulant?

Its 1mg of protamine sulphte for 100u of heparin if given within 30 mins. Isnt it?
@ICUAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
Correct, the dose goes down after 30 minutes. That said, while I have never run the regional anticoagulation setup with Heparin personally, I would imagine from what I've read on it that it is similar to the Citrate which is what I have my experience with. Our goal in regional is to not have any anticoagulation reach the patient (or minimal). It sounds as if, and I would imagine it to be as such, that the protamine is given via a continuous infusion either to the patient or via a y-connector with the returning blood. This rate would be adjusted based on the rate of the heparin infusion being given via y-connector to the blood at the access line.

What are the downfalls of using Calcium/Citrate for anti coagulation? I rarely see this used and the times I have, you’re infusing a large volume of just those two medications which makes it difficult to remove via CRRT. Also, could this be an option for anticoagulation on ECMO? Thank you for the informative videos!

Great question. In my experience, its usually only if there is so contraindication to continuing the citrate and/or anticoagulation. Bleeding, hypernatremia not corrected with changes to replacement fluid. But we stop therapy with citrate running all the time.

I don't know if I have a good answer to that. I typically see the dialysate running at about 1.5-2x that of both the pre and post combined. 500 pre, 1500 dialysate, 500 post is a common ratio.

@icuicu11872 жыл бұрын
this CRRT series is amazing. I have a query. When we start CRRT for fluid overload and AKI, patient becomes anuric. This is probably due to fall in concentration gradient across renal tubules ( this is what i have learnt. Not read it anywhere). We had started CRRT for fulminant hepatic failure for ammonia and high lactaes without signs of fluid overload, his urine output remained normal. Is there any explanation for this difference? thank you for this video
@ICUAdvantage2 жыл бұрын
Great question. I think there can be a lot at play here. Certainly we are starting CRRT as the kidneys are failing so a good part is just them reaching that point. Certainly the decreased concentration gradients play a role as they help drive the functioning of cells in the nephrons and ducts. I also think decreasing fluid volume also plays a role. But as they start recovering, even with CRRT going we start to see them increasing urine output. As for your hepatic failure, we’re you pulling fluid at all or running them even? If not pulling excess fluid, and having functioning kidneys, I’d expect them to continue making urine as before.

I've never seen a set primed with heparin, but 5000u could certainly be an issue for someone with bleeding risks. We typically don't anticoagulate those with bleeding risks.
