Correction of hypernatraemia with continuous arteriovenous haemodiafiltration

Anidulafungin dosing in critically ill patients with continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration.

BACKGROUND Anidulafungin is indicated as a first-line treatment for invasive candidiasis in critically ill patients. In the intensive care unit, sepsis is the main cause of acute renal failure, and treatment with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has increased in recent years. Antimicrobial pharmacokinetics is affected by CRRT, but few studies have addressed the optimal dosage for ani...

Pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin in patients undergoing continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration.

OBJECTIVE Moxifloxacin is an 8-methoxy quinolone with a broad range of activity against clinically important pathogens. Therefore it is frequently administered in severe respiratory tract infections. Continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is an important extracorporeal renal replacement therapy for intensive care patients suffering from sepsis and multiple organ failure. The aim of t...

Regional citrate anticoagulation in continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration using commercial solutions.

BACKGROUND Treatment with trisodium citrate provides an effective means of regional anticoagulation during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We evaluated the efficacy, safety and cost of a regional citrate anticoagulation protocol using commercial solutions in 17 critically ill patients treated with continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). We performed a total of 22 session...

Correction of severe hyponatraemia by continuous arteriovenous haemofiltration before liver transplantation.

Sweet described a dermatosis characterised by tender erythematous plaques and a dense dermal, perivascular infiltrate consisting predominantly of polymorphonuclear leucocytes often with nuclear dust.' Patients with Sweet's syndrome have leucocytosis of peripheral blood and usually a concurrent fever. Other systemic features include a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate, arthritis, myalgia, an...
