Practical Considerations for CRRT Helen Currier RN, BSN, CNN Nancy McAfee RN, BSN, CNN
Advantages of CRRT • SLOW: Hemodynamically unstable patients may not tolerate the rapid ultrafiltration of intermittent hemodialysis • CONTINUOUS: Can help preserve metabolic stability in critically ill patients; can maintain fluid balance for oliguric patients who require high daily input (IV medications, parenteral nutrition)

Success with CRRT • Access • Equipment • Tubing/filter • Prime • Anticoagulation • Staffing
Access-What Works? • Hemodialysis /Pheresis Line • Shortest, fattest catheter possible (highest flows with least resistance) • May need two single lumen lines • Leg position-be creative • Tape on the skin-may need to get creative
Tubing and Equipment • Tubing volume ranges from 44-110 ml • Filter volume ranges from 28 – 83 ml • Hotline volume 18.5 ml • Blood volume of patient (~70 ml/kg) • PRISMA – 108 ml • BM-25 -Smallest filter + tubing + hotline = 90.5 ml
Extracorporeal Volume • Blood volume in extracorporeal circuit is very large compared to a small infant or child • Patients require a blood prime if the circuit >10% of their blood volume
Blood Prime • Whole blood • PRBC + Albumin 5% • PRBC + NS • PRBC + FFP • Larger patients Albumin 5% • AN-69 filterrequires special considerations
Bradykinin Release Syndrome(Brophy et al Am J Kidney Dis. 2001 Jul;38(1):173-8 ) • What is the link • Blood bank blood has • ICa of 0.04 mmol/l • K+ of 40-60 mEq/l • pH of 6.4 • Reaction can be mitigated by buffering the blood and giving IV calcium at initiation
Buffered System • ECMO circuits are commonly primed with a cocktail to correct the pH, Hct, and K of banked blood • Addition of THAM • calcium chloride • Heparin • Sterile Water • Sodium bicarb
Bypass System • Transfuse the PRBC post-filter directly into the patient • The patient is then connected to the circuit • Using the same rate for priming on and infusing the PRBC (mixed with NS or Alb) • Thus the patient’s blood can be used as a “bradykinin filter” (Brophy,et al 2001AJKD)
Thermal Regulation • Hotline® Blood warming tubing • Place at venous return to patient • Leave on at constant temperature of 39o C • Treat temp elevations if they occur
Heparin Heparin bolus then continuous infusion Maintain activated clotting time (ACT) ~200 Risk of bleeding, thrombocytopenia Citrate Citrate infusion to CRRT circuit Calcium infusion to patient at separate site Monitor for metabolic alkalosis Anticoagulation
CRRT Staffing in PICU/IICU • Nephrology/Dialysis RN sets-up & initiates therapy • PICU/IICU RN manages patient • Nephrology/Dialysis RN on call 24/7 • Acuity assigned to pump as if a separate patient • Staffing determined by acuity
