Abstract:
CAVH in continuous renal replacement therapy is often regarded as one of most important advances in intensive care medicine in recent years. CAVH has been used widely for patients with acute renal failure combined with cardiovascular instability, severe fluid overload, cerebral edema or hyper catabolism, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis, acute respiratory distress and cardiopulmonary bypass. The continuous renal replacement therapy has to be started early to prevent multi-organ dysfunction.
