Q

What’s one way to test your oxygenator when you think it’s failing?

A

Increase the FiO2 and see if post oxy pao2 increased. Do the formula FiO2 x 3-5

A

Platelets and fibrinogen

57
Q

Pre Dilutes out your “dirty” blood so the solvents can actually cross the CRRT membrane. Called “solvent drag”. Example watching the rain pull a leaf down a gutter. Fluid can pull things across.

62
Q

Post replacement.

A

Done, because we pulled off the good/bad and the ugly. So we replace it so our electrolytes don’t get too low. So based off labs you may run post replacement fluid.

Solution is needed to “replace” and removed “volume” and replenish lost electrolytes

Q

Liver failure in CRRT will cause (if on citrate)

A

Citrate lock

64
Q

Heparin dosing when going on CRRT

A

Will give loading “bolus” dose of heparin (only if your not on ECMO)

65
Q

Suggestions for CRRT frequent clotting (4)

A

Maintain higher BFR. Larger catheter. Use pre filter replacement fluid. Rarely, use citrate and heparin

66
Q

Heater cables, for CRRT. We have gray and blue for which filters

A

Gray is for HF1000 & HF 1400
Blue is for HF20

67
Q

CRRT: if you’re having pressure/pod issues

A

Clean/tape it. Make it do a self test

68
