Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration (CVVH) is a temporary treatment for patients with acute renal failure who are unable to tolerate hemodialysis and are unstable. With CVVH, a dialysis catheter is placed in one of the main veins of the body.
Is hemodialysis the same as CRRT?
CRRT is a slower type of dialysis that puts less stress on the heart. Instead of doing it over four hours, CRRT is done 24 hours a day to slowly and continuously clean out waste products and fluid from the patient. It requires special anticoagulation to keep the dialysis circuit from clotting.
What are the different types of CRRT?
- Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration (CVVH)
- Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (CVVHD)
- Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF)
