Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy is an important, yet challenging, treatment of critically ill patients with kidney dysfunction. Clotting within the dialysis filter or circuit leads to time off therapy and impaired delivery of prescribed treatment. Anticoagulation can be used to prevent this complication; however, doing so introduces risk for unintended complications such as bleeding or metabolic derangements in patients who are already critically ill. A thorough understanding of indications, therapeutic options, and monitoring principles is necessary for safe and effective use of this strategy. This review provides clinicians important information regarding when to anticoagulate, differences in pharmacologic agents, recommended doses, routes of drug delivery, and appropriate laboratory monitoring for patients receiving anticoagulation to support continuous renal replacement therapy.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
