Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
(CRRT) powerpoint
CRRT is like hemodialysis but it is
continuous
With CRRT blood circulates
outside the body

What does CRRT use to move water, electrolytes, and small to medium-sized molecules?
Ultrafiltration
With CRRT we need to know whether we are giving fluid back for
dehydration or for electrolyte replacement
How many different types of CRRT are there?
3 different types
CVVH, CVVH/D and slow continuous hemofiltration
CRRT will be given through which port?
§Large bore dual-lumen central venous catheter designed for hemodialysis
, Why is there a pump used when giving CRRT treatment
to assist flow
CRRT rate
Rate is much slower than hemodialysis and mimics the patients natural blood flow - this reduces
the side effects
CVVH/D adds
dialysate which increases the ability to move waster. Used in uremia that needs to be
aggressively managed
CVVH is used to
primarily remove excess fluid
Who would get CRRT?
-Pts with high risk hemodynamic instability
-Pts who do not tolerate rapid fluid shifts that occur with hemodialysis
-Pts that require large amts of IV fluids or parenteral nutrition
-In pts who need more than the usual 3-4hrs of hemodialysis to correct metabolic imbalances in
ARF
CRRT contraindications
When pt becomes hemodynamically stable or no longer require CRRT - intermittent
hemodialysis is now appropriate for these pts.
CRRT Equipment
Taking blood from the body and filter in machine then return to the body.
Pre-CRRT nursing assessment
Before you start dialysis crrt we need to know baseline VS - to see the effects of CRRT.
