ABSTRACT
It may seem obvious that continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) means that the treatment is truly continuous--administered without interruption on a 24/7 basis. In reality, a number of barriers limit the continuous aspect of CRRT. This article describes how nursing staff of an inpatient dialysis unit in a large Midwestern academic institution identified these barriers and developed and implemented a multifaceted plan to optimize CRRT.
