Liberation From CRRT: Is It an Art or a Science?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses challenges and practices related to liberating patients from continuous renal replacement therapy (CRT). Current guidelines suggest stopping renal replacement therapy when no longer needed, but lack specificity for patient-by-patient guidance. Adult studies indicate that successful CRT liberation correlates with better renal recovery outcomes. In practice, factors such as urine output, fluid balance, and clinical improvement are used to determine readiness for CRT liberation. There is considerable variability in how centers approach CRT cessation, and evidence is lacking, especially for pediatric cases. Further research is needed to enhance understanding and develop standardized protocols.
