Implementing On-Line Hemodiafiltration as a Renal Replacement Therapy for ICU Acute Renal Failure: A Single-Center Report of Feasibility, Safety and Hemodynamic Tolerance over a Seven-Year Period

Abstract: <b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> On-line hemodiafiltration (HDF) is not yet routinely used in ICUs given the potential risk of microbial contamination of dialysis fluids. We evaluated the safety and the tolerance of its use in our ICU. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A weekly measurement of bacterial growth (CFU/ml) and endotoxin level (endotoxin units/ml) was performed in dialysis fluids over a 7-year period. Intradialytic hypotensive events and pyrogenic reactions were co… Show more

“…The choice of RRT modality was depending on patient hemodynamic stability and was daily re-evaluated. Patients with hemodynamic instability or severe fluid overload were preferentially treated with pre-dilutional continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) or on-line sustained low-efficiency daily dialysis-filtration (SLEDD-f), and those with hemodynamic stability were preferentially treated with on-line intermittent hemodiafiltration (IHDF) [ 27 ].…”

“…Our ICU water production and distribution system was identical to that routinely used in chronic dialysis facilities performing on-line therapies [ 21 ] as previously described [ 11 ]. Dialysate and infusate purity has been also validated previously [ 9 , 11 , 22 ] and was ensured by regular endotoxin and microbiological testing. Vascular access was obtained through double lumen jugular catheter, with unfractionated heparin for anticoagulation whenever needed.…”

“…In chronic dialysis facilities, this technique became a routine and safe modality of RRT and now represents the most effective dialysis therapy [ 8 10 ]. A few reports exist about its use in ICUs and its routine application is mainly restricted to ICU facilities working with a trained nephrological team [ 4 7 , 11 17 ]. The limited use of this technique by intensivists is largely related to the technical complexity with water treatment and HDF machines and to the potential infectious risk of on-line produced fluids infusion especially in septic patients who represent the majority of admissions in ICUs.…”
