Impact of specialized renal technologists on optimizing delivery of continuous kidney replacement therapy in critical care areas a retrospective study
Background
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CKRT) is delivered to some of the most critically ill patients in hospitals. This therapy is expensive and requires coordination of multidisciplinary teams to ensure the prescribed dose is delivered. With increased demands on the critical care nursing staff and increased complexities of patients admitted to critical care units, we evaluated the role of specialized renal technologists in ensuring the prescribed dose is delivered. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the impact of supporting intensive care unit nurses with specialized renal technologists on optimizing efficiency of CKRT sessions in the United Arab Emirates.
Methods
This is a retrospective study that compared critically ill patients on CKRT overseen by specialized renal technologists versus who are non-covered in the year 2021.
Results
A total of 331 sessions on 158 patients were included in the study. The mean filter life was longer in specialized renal technologists—covered patients compared to the non-covered group (66 vs. 59 h, p = 0.019). After adjustment by multiple regression analysis for risk factors (i.e., age, gender, mechanical ventilation, sepsis, mean arterial pressure, vasopressors, and SOFA) that may affect CKRT machines' filter life, presence of a specialized renal technologists resulted in significantly longer filter life (co-efficient 0.129; CI 95% 1.080, 11.970; p-value: 0.019).
Conclusion
Our study suggests that specialized renal technologists play a vital role in prolonging CKRT machine's filter life span and optimizing CKRT machine's efficiency. Further research should focus on other potential benefits of having specialized renal technologists performing CKRT sessions, and to confirm the finding of this study. Additionally, a cost–benefit analysis could be conducted to determine the economic impact of having specialized teams performing CKRT.
期刊介绍：
Hemodialysis International was originally an annual publication containing the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Hemodialysis held in conjunction with the Annual Dialysis Conference. Since 2003, Hemodialysis International is published quarterly and contains original papers on clinical and experimental topics related to dialysis in addition to the Annual Dialysis Conference supplement. This journal is a must-have for nephrologists, nurses, and technicians worldwide. Quarterly issues of Hemodialysis International are included with your membership to the International Society for Hemodialysis.
The journal contains original articles, review articles, and commentary to keep readers completely updated in the field of hemodialysis. Edited by international and multidisciplinary experts, Hemodialysis International disseminates critical information in the field.
