Dialysis: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (DVD)

by Washington State Icn

Acute renal failure is often associated with critically ill patients. In the past, standard treatment for this complication has consisted of peritoneal dialysis, Hemodialysis, or conservative pharmacologic and dietary management. Now, with the availability of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), episodes of acute renal failure can be managed more safely. After a brief review of the basic principles of dialysis, the program explains the indications for CRRT, and discusses the nursing responsibilities needed to care for patients receiving it.
