Aim: We aimed to characterize the burden of CRRT filter clotting in patients with COVID-19 infection and to describe a CRRT anticoagulation protocol that used anti-factor Xa levels for systemic heparin dosing. Inhibition of thrombin generation can be obtained via direct inhibition of FIIa (r-hirudin, argatroban, or dermatan sulphate), FXa (danaparoid or fondaparinux), or both (nafamostat).

Furthermore, kinking of the catheter may impair catheter flow. Greaves M: Limitations of the laboratory monitoring of heparin therapy. There was no difference between groups in percentage who lost their first filter (88% vs. 81%), or second filter (73% vs. 72%). Chadha V, Garg U, Warady BA, Alon US: Citrate clearance in children receiving continuous venovenous renal replacement therapy.

In a non-randomized study in patients on CRRT, AT deficiency (less than 60%) was associated with early filter clotting, whereas supplementation increased circuit life [41]. Another important determinant of catheter flow is the patient's circulation. 2006, 7: 53-59. National Library of Medicine Wester JP, Oudemans-van Straaten HM: How do I diagnose HIT?. The interpretation of studies evaluating circuit life in CRRT, however, is hampered by the complexity and interplay of the factors mentioned. The sieving coefficient is between 0.87 and 1.0 and is not different between CVVH and CVVHD [72, 73].

Although these processes are to some degree inevitable, they are facilitated by poor therapy management. 10.1053/j.ajkd.2005.08.010. Given these limitations, a possible scheme for UFH consists of a bolus of 30 IU/kg followed by an initial rate of 5 to 10 IU/kg per hour in patients with normal coagulation. Both derangements are preventable by adherence to the protocol or are detectable early by strict monitoring. 2004, 126: 311S-337S. Would you like email updates of new search results? Bookshelf However, the level of anticoagulation should be individualized. One small randomized cross-over study (n = 15) and one study comparing 33 patients on predilution CVVH to 15 historical postdilution controls found longer circuit survival with predilution [25, 26] at the cost of a diminished clearance [26].

Critical Care Some general principles are summarized in Figure 2 and are discussed below. In addition, some units change filters routinely after 24 to 72 hours. CRRT is a type of blood purification therapy used with patients who are experiencing AKI.

The incidence, clinical features, and treatment strategies to address severe filter clotting in patients with COVID-19 is unknown. The use of regional anticoagulation with citrate is limited by the patient's capacity to metabolize citrate, which is decreased if liver function or tissue perfusion fails [74].

At the time of CRRT initiation, 64/65 patients (98%) were mechanically ventilated, 22/65 patients (34%) required prone ventilation, and 59/65 patients (91%) were on intravenous vasopressors. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appears to be associated with increased arterial and venous thromboembolic disease. Systemic anticoagulation interferes with plasmatic coagulation, platelet activation, or both and should be kept at a low dose to mitigate bleeding complications.

Accumulation of citrate can also be the result of an unintended citrate over-infusion or of decreased removal in case of a decline in membrane performance at constant citrate infusion. J Vasc Access. Van der Voort PH, Gerritsen RT, Kuiper MA, Egbers PH, Kingma WP, Boerma EC: Filter run time in CVVH: pre-versus post-dilution and nadroparin versus regional heparin-protamine anticoagulation. Citrate is partially removed by convection or diffusion and partially enters the systemic circulation, where iCa rises again due to the dilution of extracorporeal blood, the liberation of chelated calcium when citrate is metabolized, and the replacement of calcium. Inhibition of platelet activation can be obtained by the use of prostaglandins (PGs) (summarized in [9, 59]). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact that different anticoagulation protocols have on filter clotting risk. Spronk PE, Steenbergen H, ten Kleij M, Rommes JH: Re: Regional citrate anticoagulation does not prolong filter survival during CVVH. QB = QF (Htfilter/(Htfilter - Htpatient). Other reasons for premature clotting related to the CRRT technique are repeated stasis of blood flow [5], hemoconcentration, turbulent blood flow, and blood-air contact in air-detection chambers [6]. J Crit Care. Due to the unreliability of PTT levels in patients with COVID-19, a COVID-specific CRRT anticoagulation protocol (referred to as protocol henceforth) which dosed systemic unfractionated heparin (UFH) by anti-factor Xa levels was piloted at one center starting April 13, 2020.

Because anticoagulatory strength of the solution depends on the citrate concentration, it is best expressed as molar strength of citrate. Sixty-five patients were analyzed, including 17 using an anti-factor Xa protocol to guide systemic heparin dosing. Kidney Int. Vascular access is a major determinant of circuit survival. CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Although some studies use LMWH in a fixed dose [7, 52], continuous intravenous application of LMWH, aiming at systemic anti-FX levels of 0.25 to 0.35 U/ml, may be the safest option [53].
