Continuous renal replacement procedures in the intensive care unit: Understanding and differentiated application

CVVH, CVVHD and CVVHDF: These terms will soon no longer be a  "black box" for you! This book is aimed at physicians and nurses in  intensive care units who want to both apply and understand continuous  renal replacement procedures. Step-by-step, the functionalities and  characteristics of all common renal replacement procedures, such as  continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and  hemodiafiltration, are explained in a comprehensible manner, and the  clinical implications of the parameters to be set are described. A  separate chapter is devoted to the topic of citrate anticoagulation, an  understanding of which is essential when using continuous renal  replacement procedures. With this knowledge, the most suitable therapy  can be selected for each patient and optimally adapted to the patient's  needs.
