Mastering Fluid Management in CRRT

This chapter explores the benefits and complexities of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) in critical care, particularly its advantages over intermittent hemodialysis for hemodynamically unstable patients. It emphasizes the challenges clinicians face in fluid management, including the absence of standardized protocols and the necessity for careful assessment and monitoring. The discussion highlights the importance of net ultrafiltration rate and how individual patient characteristics, such as body weight, can significantly influence management strategies during therapy.
