چکیده
BACKGROUND There is debate as to whether, in patients with acute lung injury, continuous renal replacement therapy has beneficial effects on pulmonary gas exchange by mechanisms other than fluid removal. Because continuous renal replacement therapy is associated with potential morbidity and mortality, it seems unethical to perform a randomized trial in patients with acute lung injury without renal failure. Therefore, the effects of continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration with zero volume balance on gas exchange were evaluated in patients with acute renal failure and acute lung injury. Because haemofilter conditions should be comparable between patients, we opted for an evaluation of the effects during a 24-h period. Results of this trial can guide future studies in non-renal patients with acute lung injury. METHODS In all 37 patients with acute renal failure and acute lung injury, treated with continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration with zero fluid balance during a 1 year period, ventilatory and haemodynamic parameters were measured every 8 h during the 24 h preceding therapy and during the first 24 h of therapy. RESULTS We found a slight, although not statistically significant, increase in the PaO(2)/FIO(2) ratio and the oxygenation index, in the total group of patients, and in the subgroups of patients with acute lung injury of extrapulmonary and pulmonary causes. CONCLUSIONS During the first 24 h of treatment, continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration with zero volume balance did not result in a significant improvement of the respiratory status in patients with acute renal failure and acute lung injury, nor in the subgroups of patients with acute lung injury with extrapulmonary causes.

Early Effectiveness of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on Right Ventricular Function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subjects with Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure
Introduction: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has become an integral tool in the management of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study was performed to evaluate the early effects of NIPPV on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), serum N-terminal pro BNP (NT-proBNP), and ventilatory parameters in the COPD patients with...
متن کاملEffect of aminophylline on renal function of brain injury patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit
Introdution: Acute renal failure is a common complication in the brain injury patients. Released adenosine in injury can reduce renal glomerular filtration. Aminophylline is an inhibitor of releasing adenosine. So, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of intravenous aminophylline in renal function of brain-injured patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit. Method...

Our study evaluated the differences between early and late hemodialysis (HD) initiation in the intensive care unit (ICU) according to the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage renal failure) and AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network) classifications. On the assumption that early initiation of HD in critical patients according to the RIFLE and AKIN criteria decreases mortality, we retros...

Background: Preterm birth occurs in a large number of pregnancies, and its incidence has been reported to be on the rise. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in the premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The present study aimed to determine the predictive factors, clinical courses, and outcomes of AKI in the neonates with the clinical and radiological manifes...
متن کاملValidity of Spo2/Fio2 Ratio in Detection of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Introduction: One ofdiagnostic criteria for Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is pao2/fio2 (PF) ratio 300 for ALI or 200 for ARDS. This criteria requires invasive arterial sampling. Measurement of Spo2/Fio2 (SF) ratio by pulseoximetry may be a reliable non invasive alternative to the PF ratio. Methods and Materials: In a cross sectional study we enrolled 105 sample o...
