parameters Describe CRRT principles and effects on Pk Describe variances in Pk parameters

CRRT Principles

CRRT Principles

Heparin Anticoagulation Citrate Anticoagulation

Acid Citrate Dextrose – Anticoagulation (ACD-A)

Calcium Chloride Replacement Convective Clearance

Hemofiltration ~ Ultrafiltration Filter Replacement Fluid (FRF)

Diffusive Clearance Hemodialysis Dialysate

CRRT Principles

Usual circuit priming volume ~ 100-150mL Blood, Saline, & Albumin

Usual Blood Flow Rate

~ 3-5mL/kg/min

Tubing and Membrane Filter impact Adsorption

Ultrafiltration


Movement of fluid through a semi-permeable membrane caused by a pressure gradient

Positive, negative and osmotic pressure from non-permeable solutes

Convective Clearance

Movement of solutes with water flow, “solvent drag”.

The more fluid moved through a semi-permeable membrane, the more solutes that are removed.

Replacement Fluid is used to create convection


Diffusive Clearance

Movement of solutes from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Dialysate is used to create a concentration gradient across a semi-permeable membrane.


Pharmacokinetic Parameters

CRRT Impact on Kinetic Parameters

Usual circuit priming volume ~ 100-150mL Increases Volume of Distribution (Vd) Usual adult blood volume ~5000mL (0.07L/kg or 70mL/kg) Usual pediatric blood volume ~80mL/kg

Tubing binds drug Increases Vd Adsorption

Membrane Filter binds drug by “Gibbs-Donnan Effect” Increases Vd Adsorption


Usual Blood Flow Rate ~ 3-5mL/kg/min Higher the rate leads to increased Clearance (Cl)

Ultrafiltrate Rate ~ Filter Replacement Fluid (FRF) Rate if the patient is kept in even fluid balance ~ 35-40mL/kg/hr (2.5L/m2/hr) Higher the rate leads to increased Cl

Dialysate Rate ~ 35-40mL/kg/hr (2.5L/m2/hr) Higher the rate leads to increased Cl

Combined hemofiltration plus dialysis (Cldf) Convective Clearance (Filter Replacement Fluid (FRF))

Diffusive Clearance (Dialysate)

Cldf = Qf * S + Qd * Sd

Native clearance must be taken into account if the patient maintains renal function despite CRRT support

Convective + Diffusive Clearance

Ultrafiltrate Rate ~

Filter Replacement Fluid (FRF) Rate

~ 35-40mL/kg/hr

(2.5L/m2/hr)

Dialysate Rate

~ 35-40mL/kg/hr

(2.5L/m2/hr)

Clinical Pearls

Medications unaffected by CRRT Ceftriaxone Metronidazole Clindamycin Lansoprazole Pantoprazole Cyclosporin Phenytoin

Clinical Pearls

Due to extracorporeal clearance provided by CRRT remember to hold the following if CRRT circuit goes down and consult the primary service /nephrology service Total Parenteral Nutrition / Enteral Nutrition Antibiotics except ceftriaxone, clindamycin,

metronidazole Potassium, and Phosphorus supplementation H2 receptor antagonists

Clinical Pearls

Due to extracorporeal clearance provided by CRRT remember to monitor closely for toxicity + reduce the dose for the following if CRRT circuit goes down and consult the primary service /nephrology service Sedation (Midazolam, Lorazepam, Fentanyl, & Morphine) Pressors (Norepinephrine, Epinephrine, & Dopamine) Inotropes (Milrinone, Dobutamine, & Epinephrine)

If a new circuit is initiated, a reloading phase will occur until complete adsorption occurs and a new steady state with the circuit is reached.
