Role of blood cultures during continuous renalreplacement theraphy in septic patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Adequate microbiological diagnosis through blood cultures (BC) is essential to optimize the treatment of septic patients. However, their extraction in critically ill patients with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is poorly studied and characterized. CRRT can modify clinical signs of bacteriemia like fever and therefore the indication of obtaining BC. It is also unknown if the therapy itself can alter the results of BC. The routine of BC extraction every 24 or 48 hours is controversial and could be harmful.
