Early and intensive continuous haemofiltration for severe renal failure after cardiac surgery Chapter References vii Summary Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common complication in critically ill patients Severe ARF is associated with high mortality Different pathogenetic factors contribute to its development Precipitating factors include severe sepsis, hypotension, drug nephrotoxicity and hypovolaemia To prevent ARF and to promote recovery, standard ICU care has a central role To this end, ensuring adequate circulatory volume and systemic and organ perfusion pressures are vital Given that there are hitherto no renal-specific, diseasemodifying pharmacological agent capable of “curing” ARF, much of the progress in the clinical management of ARF has been in the area of acute renal replacement therapy (ARRT) This includes intermittent haemodialysis (IHD), slow, low efficiency dialysis (SLED), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) MARS has been used for both liver and renal dialysis However, CRRT remains an important treatment modality in critically ill patients, especially haemodynamically unstable ones Central to its optimal use is an understanding of its clinical effects in critically ill ICU patients Such information complements knowledge of the course and characteristics of major critical illnesses and would make the interpretation of clinical and laboratory data more meaningful Moreover, technical factors affecting the optimal operation of CRRT systems are also pertinent Frequent system “downtimes” potentially reduce the overall dialytic dose delivered This thesis is therefore focussed on three main aspects of CRRT: (1) Biochemical effects in terms of electrolyte and acid-base regulation, (2) Technique in terms of understanding both the anticoagulatory and nonanticoagulatory or physico-mechanical factors affecting CRRT operational integrity, and (3) the clinical impact of CRRT utilisation in terms of the effects of timing of initiation and dialytic intensity on patient outcome in a group of critically ill post-cardiosurgical patients To this end, we performed a study to understand the relative effects of IHD and continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) on serum ionised calcium and phosphate concentrations in critically ill patients (Chapter 3.1) In addition, a prospective, randomised, double cross-over comparative study of the effects of continuous venovenous haemofiltration (CVVH) on acid-base status using proprietary lactate- and bicarbonatebuffered haemofiltration (HF) replacement fluids was also conducted (Chapter 3.2) Another study looked at the kinetics of electrolyte elimination from the blood compartment during CVVH and whether blood-to-effluent movement of electrolytes is influenced by the nature of the buffer (lactate- versus bicarbonate) used in the HF replacement fluid (Chapter 3.3) Given that many critically ill patients are catabolic, intensive nutritional support may be indicated However, such regimens may exacerbate the uraemic milieu in ARF A study was performed to determine if CRRT could ameliorate the uraemic effects of a high protein nutritional regimen and also to delineate the specific effects of CRRT on individual amino acid losses in the ultrafiltrate and their corresponding serum concentrations (Chapter 3.4) CRRT technique is concerned with the factors that contribute to a patent extracorporeal blood circuit, the natural tendency of which is to clot spontaneously in the absence of adequate antithrombotic factors/agents Such clotting, if frequent, compromises dialytic adequacy of the treatment These technical factors can be divided into two main categories: (1) Non-anticoagulatory or physico-mechanical factors, and (2) Anticoagulatory strategies Individual studies addressing specific aspects of these two broad categories are detailed in Chapter – CRRT Technique I and Chapter – CRRT Technqiue II, respectively Three different physical strategies were studied: haemofilter geometry, site of heparin anticoagulation in the extracorporeal circuit (EC), and surface area of haemofilter (Chapter 4.1) Larger surface area and flat-plate haemofilters were studied to see if they were associated with longer circuit lifespans Similarly, exclusive administration of heparin anticoagulant pre-filter was compared with simultaneous pre-filter and direct air-bubble chamber heparin administration to determine if there was any significant prolongation of CVVH circuit lifespan with the latter intervention Another critical component of the EC is the central venous, dual-lumen dialysis catheter An ex-vivo experiment was conducted using different proprietary dialysis catheters under standard conditions to determine blood flow resistivities (Chapter 4.2) This may provide objective data about catheter performance and guide their selection for use Given that blood is in contact with the artificial plastic surface of the EC during its passage through the circuit, blood-circuit interactions can occur These may result in quantitative and qualitative changes of leucocytes, erythrocytes and platelets, which can also be deranged by the critical illness complex per se A study of the quantitative effect of the AN69 haemofilter on platelets was therefore performed (Chapter 4.3) Changes in platelet counts in such patients can then be interpreted more accurately in terms of whether it is due to underlying disease and/or filter membrane per se Anticoagulation is the mainstay of ensuring EC patency in clinical practice Accordingly, different anticoagulants, modes of administration, and various anticoagulation protocols have evolved for clinical use in CRRT All are associated with some degree of bleeding risk which would be greatly increased in patients who are already at high bleeding risk On the other hand, omitting anticoagulant was considered impractical since this was thought to result in frequent circuit clotting Our study of CVVH without standard heparin anticoagulation observed that such an approach is compatible with circuit lifespans comparable to those of anticoagulated circuits (Chapter 5.1) Another aspect of anticoagulation relates to monitoring of its intensity It is recognised that standard laboratory indices of anticoagulation not accurately correlate with circuit lifespan Circuits can still clot despite an adequate level of anticoagulation Measurements of the actual process of clot formation using thromboelastography (TEG) was explored to see if TEG-derived variables of physical clot formation provided more accurate correlation with circuit patency/clotting (Chapter 5.2) 10 250 Nimmo GR, Mackenzie SJ, Walker S, Nicol M, Grant IS Acid-base
