Progress on volume status assessment during continuous renal replacement therapy / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)is an important treatment in the pediatric intensive care unit .However, CRRT needs to establish cardiopulmonary bypass.During the initial period of cardiopulmonary bypass , ultrafiltration and blood return, CRRT causes a rapid change of the body′s circulating blood volume due to the transfer of a large amount of fluid, resulting in hemodynamic instability.So accurate and real-time assessment of volume status during CRRT has an extremely important impact on reducing potential abnormal hemodynamic fluctuations and improving the prognosis of critically ill children.This review summarized the volume status assessment during CRRT in critically ill children.
