Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate prereduction during continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA).
Methods: Patients undergoing CVVH with RCA were randomly divided into a control group and a prereduction group, with the latter receiving reduced sodium bicarbonate concentration levels to achieve the desired level after 3 h of treatment. The investigation focused on variations in pH, bicarbonate ion levels, and the frequency of sodium bicarbonate dosage adjustments at different intervals during CVVH.
Results: The 41 participants (20 in the control group, 21 in the prereduction group) treated from July 2023 to February 2024 had no statistically significant differences in demographic or clinical characteristics. The prereduction group demonstrated significantly lower bicarbonate ion levels in the 4th hour (23.62 ± 2.66 mmol/L) compared with the control group (26.57 ± 2.17 mmol/L, p < 0.05) and required fewer bicarbonate adjustments (0 [0,1] times vs. 2 [1,3] times in the control group, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Sodium bicarbonate prereduction during CVVH using RCA minimises bicarbonate ion fluctuations and reduces the need for dosage adjustments.
期刊介绍:
Practical information on hemodialysis, hemofiltration, peritoneal dialysis and apheresis is featured in this journal. Recognizing the critical importance of equipment and procedures, particular emphasis has been placed on reports, drawn from a wide range of fields, describing technical advances and improvements in methodology. Papers reflect the search for cost-effective solutions which increase not only patient survival but also patient comfort and disease improvement through prevention or correction of undesirable effects. Advances in vascular access and blood anticoagulation, problems associated with exposure of blood to foreign surfaces and acute-care nephrology, including continuous therapies, also receive attention. Nephrologists, internists, intensivists and hospital staff involved in dialysis, apheresis and immunoadsorption for acute and chronic solid organ failure will find this journal useful and informative. ''Blood Purification'' also serves as a platform for multidisciplinary experiences involving nephrologists, cardiologists and critical care physicians in order to expand the level of interaction between different disciplines and specialities.
