CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT)

Program Overview

CRRT is used when patients experience kidney failure. A double lumen catheter is placed in a large vein to allow removal and return of a patient’s blood. The blood is pulled into a CRRT filter with a machine, such as Prismaflex or the new Carpediem, and then returned to the patient. The filter does the job of the kidneys, removing waste products and clearance of electrolytes or toxins. The circuit requires anticoagulation to keep circulating for the life of the filter, which can now be as long as 7 days for the Prismaflex machine.
