Does early implementation of continuous renal replacement therapy optimize casualty evacuation for combat-related acute kidney injury?
Intensivist-led CRRT is an effective therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of combat-related AKI. Provision of this extracorporeal therapy provides physiologic stabilization of casualties who might otherwise succumb to the sequelae of combat-related renal failure. These findings suggest that a self-sustaining CRRT program can be successfully implemented in combat support hospitals.
Awaiting compulsory direct clinical evidences, the present mathematical model suggests that lower HRs during permanent AF relates to improved hemodynamic parameters, cardiac efficiency, and lower oxygen consumption.
