Early venovenous haemodiafiltration for sepsis-related multiple organ failure

In a prospective observational study that included 60 consecutive patients over a 10-year period, Page and coworkers [1] studied the effects of early continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) during sepsis-induced multiple organ failure. In two-thirds of the patients rapid metabolic improvement during CVVHDF was associated with circulatory improvement and a low mortality rate, whereas l...

METHOD CVVHDF was implemented after 6-12 hours of maximal haemodynamic support, and base excess monitoring was used...
