Book Description
In the past decade, CRRT has moved from a niche therapy within specific specialty centers to the standard of care for management of critically ill patients with acute renal failure. Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy provides concise, evidence-based, to-the-point bedside guidance about this treatment modality, offering quick reference answers to clinicians’ questions about treatments and situations encountered in daily practice. Organized into sections on Theory; Pratice; Special Situations; and Organizational Issues, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy provides a complete view of CRRT theory and practice. Generous tables summarize and highlight key points, and key studies and trials are listed in each chapter.

Chapters are clearly written with colour, texture of type and shading identifying key points. They also make ample use of tables and line drawings which reproduce with excellent quality…a valuable tool for any practitioner managing patients recieving this form of support. The editors are acknowledged leaders in the field and the presentiaton is crisp and clear. Much of the mystery around various applications of CRRT is clarified in this work. (Doody’s Notes)
