  1. Current Technology for CRRT Dr. Peter Skippen, PICU. BC Children’s Hospital, Vancouver. CANADA.

  2. Outline • The ideal CRRT machine • Hardware options • Homemade • Dedicated fully integrated • Conclusions

  3. The Ideal Machine for CRRT: I • Inexpensive / user friendly / flexible • Accurate / dedicated pumps • Accurate scales • Blood flows 5-300mls/min • increments of 1 ml/min • Continuous independent flow measurements • Servo controlled • Thermoregulation • Full range of safety features

  4. The Ideal Machine for CRRT: II • Safety features • Audible / visual alarms with over-ride • Air / clot detectors • Blood leak detectors • Continuous display of circuit pressures • Continuous Uf urea concentration • Continuous circuit Hct • Minimal alarms - maximum patient safety

  5. The Ideal Circuit for CRRT • Minimal priming volume / low resistance • Easy priming / recirculation procedure • Exchangeable components • Biocompatible • Non inflammatory • Hemodynamic stability • Non thrombogenic

  6. Integrated Hardware Options • Home made devices • Dedicated “all in one” machine • Edwards M 25 • PRISMA • Braun DIAPACT • Fresenius

  7. Edwards BM 25 • 2 integrated modules • Blood module (BM 11) • Balancing module / scales (BM 14)

  8. Edwards BM 25: Blood Pump Module • Blood monitor • pediatric flows: • 5 - 150mls / min • Increments of 1ml

  9. Edwards BM 25: Effluent / Replacement Pump Module • Balancing monitor • Substitution pump / filtrate pump • Integrated scales: claimed accuracy 1% (20mls in 2000mls) • Replacement fluid heater • TMP monitor • Operational ranges • Replacement fluid 100- 9000mls / hr (100ml increments) • Filtrate pump 100 - 11,000mls / hr • Net UFR 0.1 - 2000mls / hr

  10. Edwards BM 25: Advantages • Relatively lower cost • Simplicity • Easy priming • Flexibility • Separate arterial / venous tubing • Use any filter • Neonate to adult • Any treatment option • with modification • With loss of simplicity • Replacement fluid warmer

  11. Edwards BM 25: Disadvantages • Only 3 pumps • For CVVHDF, extra pump creates problems • Does not calculate FF • No screen • Troubleshooting requires training! • Blood / air interface with bubble trap?

  12. PRISMA CRRT Machine • Touch screen • Complete range of therapies • 3 weighing scales • accuracy < +/- 0.5% • Custom filter / circuitry

  13. PRISMA CRRT Machine: Basic Layout Replacement Effluent Pressure Pods Heparin Syringe Pump Blood Dialysate Scales x 3

  14. PRISMA Screen

  15. PRISMA Screen

  16. PRISMA Machine: Advantages • User friendly interface • Step by step instructions • Continuous display of treatment conditions • Easy / rapid institution of therapies (self prime) • Continuous 24 hour recording of treatment history • Alarm explanations

  17. PRISMA Machine: Dis-advantages • Need for company specific filter • Relatively high cost • Limited blood flow ranges • Can’t change therapies mid-course • Scales sensitive to knocking • Learning curve - don’t they all?

  18. Diapact CRRT • Compact, self contained, flexible • High resolution screen • 3 pumps • Blood flow 10-500mls/min • Dialysate - substitution flow 0-250 mls/min • UFR 0-300mls/min • Automatic priming procedure • Substitution fluid warmer • Full range of therapies • Battery power

  19. Clinical Issues • Biocompatability • Hemodynamic stability

  20. Conclusions • Improving technology • Ideal machines / circuits? • Issues to be resolved • Biocompatability / Thrombogenicity • Flexibility • Versatility • Cost
