ABSTRACT
A low volume (16 ml) ultrafiltration cell was used ten times in two small, fluid overloaded children to remove plasma water. The device was simple to use and, at slow blood flow rates (25-50 ml/minutes) and low transmembrane pressures (10-30 mm Hg), provided controlled removal of excess fluid. Although no major complications were encountered, hypothermia and hypotension (at ultrafiltrate flux rates exceeding 0.5 ml/kg/minute) were observed. The ultrafiltrate solute concentration was similar to plasma and no significant shifts in serum electrolytes were induced. The ultrafiltrate protein concentration of 64 to 2,760 mg/dl was much higher than previously reported.
