Seguridad en el manejo de los sensores de presión en terapia renal depurativa continua

Abstract

Continuous evaluation of treatment pressures on extracorporeal therapy monitors is very useful in critically ill patients. All the monitors on the market offer five pressure tapings distributed appropriately along the circuits, also calculating the transmembrane pressure. The importance of each of these sensors and the interpretation of the data offered by the monitor are described in this review. Arriving on time for its correct analysis offers a lot of security in the therapy and the patient is treated more effectively and efficiently.
