EquaSmart for Acute Renal Failure
Posted on March 3rd, 2011 under Medical Equipment.
For the treatment of acute renal failure are applied more and more continuous process, both in actual renal failure as well as multi-organ failure, sepsis and in ICU patients with hypervolemia, decompensating, nephrotoxic with haemodynamic instability.
These patients require renal replacement therapy, but consider a treatment as it offers the standard dialysis to tolerate because of the additional loads poorly.
Continuous treatment for these patients are much more suitable because they come closer to the physiological function of the kidney. The principle of the method is based on a long duration of treatment. The systems for CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) must therefore be designed for this task.
The indications for continuous renal replacement therapies are constantly expanding and the use of specially developed for the acute dialysis equipment is now commonplace. Acute devices have characterized by ease of upgrading and clear to operate, and flexible and secure applications.
A major influence on the treatment, the filter used. He should have a long life and allow patients regardless of High fluxes.
For the life of the filter is controlled by a pump ultrafiltration of disadvantage. EQUAsmart controls the filtrate flow through a restrictor clamp that ensures that is set up at varying filtration performance of the filter is no vacuum on the filtrate side of the dialyzer. Thus, early closure of the filter is prevented.
EQUAsmart can work without the filter. The spontaneously delivered ultrafiltration rate ensures long life in full accordance with the philosophy of continuous replacement therapy. Product by Dialyse.
