CVVH/CRRT ques.

Published

We just got the Fresinius 2008k CVVH / CRRT/ SLED/ ... machines at work, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with this machine. We're working on our new protocols to go with our new machines and having a little trouble sorting through the details. I would appreciate any input that anyone can offer, even if they haven't used this machine. We are having some difficulties with figuring out the best algorythm for making hourly adjustments to the ultrafiltrate rate, as well as some other small detail problems. Any articles that anyone can point me to would be great too. Thanks Bunches!

Can't you ask the company rep?

The rep. just says per your hospital policy. I think they fear lawsuits etc if they recomend anything. Thanks

I'd suggest you call the rep. They may not be able to officially give you recommendations in writing, but they can either tell you what others do, or put you in contact with people at another hospital to get help.
