CVVH, CVVHD and CVVHDF: These terms will soon no longer be a 'black box' for you! This book is aimed at physicians and nurses in intensive care units who want to both apply and understand continuous renal replacement procedures. Step-by-step, the functionalities and characteristics of all common renal replacement procedures, such as continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and hemodiafiltration, are explained in a comprehensible manner, and the clinical implications of the parameters to be set are described. A separate chapter is devoted to the topic of citrate anticoagulation, an understanding of which is essential when using continuous renal replacement procedures. With this knowledge, the most suitable therapy can be selected for each patient and optimally adapted to the patient's needs.


PD Dr. med. Daniel Heise is a senior physician at the Department of Anesthesiology at the University Medical Center Göttingen; in addition to his clinical focus on intensive care medicine, he is particularly interested in training and continuing education.
