Abstract
Continuous Arteriovenous Hemofiltration (CAVH) is an extracorporeal therapy that can be used for an extended time. In CAVH electrolytes and other small and medium sized solutes are removed from the patient by ultrafiltration. Simultaneously, the blood volume is reconstituted by the administration of a fluid with an electrolyte composition similar to that of normal plasma. A small filter with a membrane highly permeable to water is used and the patient’s arterial-to-venous pressure gradient is sufficient to move the blood through the extracorporeal circuit.
