Continuous renal replacement therapy in cardiac surgery Presenter: Ri 謝佳憲
Content • Base-line and intra-operative variables • Long-term and short term outcomes • Timing of CRRT
Background • ARF necessitating the use of CRRT is a rare but a devastating complication of cardiac surgery • Incidence: 2-15% • Mortality: 40-80%
Etiology • Poorly understood • Hypo-perfusion of the renal medulla seems to be the most likely mechanism. • Nephrotoxic agents, ex. AG, vancomycin • Tissue oedema, microembolization..
Baseline variables • Definition: serum Cr>1 mg/dl above baseline. • Associated with the development of ARF following CABG
Intra-operative variables • Associated with the development of ARF following CABG
Conclusion • Increased age, black race, carotid bruit, CHF, CVA history, DM, decreased LVEF, increased serum Cr, peripheral arterial disease, increased BW, CPB duration, IABP inserted.
Short-term outcome • Lango et al.: 30% in-hospital mortality with high volume CRRT. • Bent et al.: 40% mortality with early and intensive CRRT. • An 80% mortality was reported when CRRT was instituted over a week post-operatively.
Long-term outcome • Only 2.2% patients require long term CRRT. • The long term survival(5 years) was as good as the early survival(1 year).
Conclusion • Short-term use: improve mortality rate • Long-term use: not needed
Timing of CRRT • Two Groups: 1. 27 patients, started when Cr>5mg/dl, or K>5.5mEq/L. 2. 34 patients, when UOP<100ml within consecutive 8 hrs, with no response to 50mg furosemide.
Conclusion • The sooner the ARF after surgery is recognized and CVVHDF is performed, the higher the likelihood of reduction of the hospital mortality. • Renal failure could easily be recognized with Group 2 criteria, thus CRRT could be started ASAP.
