CRRT Machine
A CRRT Machine is a specialized medical device used in intensive care units to provide continuous dialysis therapy for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury or severe fluid overload. Unlike conventional dialysis, it works gently and continuously over 24 hours, closely mimicking natural kidney function.
Core Functions:
- Blood Filtration: Removes toxins, metabolic waste, and excess electrolytes through a hemofilter.
- Fluid Balance: Precisely controls fluid removal to prevent overload or dehydration.
- Acid-Base Regulation: Maintains stable blood pH and electrolyte levels.
- Modes of Operation: Can perform hemofiltration, hemodialysis, or hemodiafiltration depending on patient needs.
- Key Features
- Continuous operation for hemodynamic stability in fragile patients.
- Customizable flow rates and treatment settings.
- Integrated sensors and alarms for patient safety.
- Compact design suitable for ICU bedside use.
- Clinical Applications
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in critically ill patients.
- Sepsis or multi-organ failure with fluid overload.
- Patients unable to tolerate intermittent hemodialysis.
- Advantages
- Gentle and stable therapy compared to intermittent dialysis.
- Reduces risk of sudden blood pressure drops.
- Provides flexible treatment tailored to patient condition.
A CRRT machine acts as an artificial kidney for ICU patients, delivering continuous, controlled blood purification and fluid management when traditional dialysis is too harsh.
