Hemodynamic disturbances and oliguria during continuous kidney replacement therapy in critically ill children

ConclusionsThe initiation of CKRT caused hemodynamic instability immediately after initial connection in most patients, but had a beneficial effect on the patient ’s hemodynamic status after 3 h of therapy, presumably owing to decreases in body temperature and heart rate. Urine output significantly decreased in all patients and was not related to negative fluid balance, patient’s hemodynamic status, CKRT settings, or kidney function parameters.
