The impact of the bioenergetic balance during continuous venovenous hemofiltration on energy need
Rationale: Nutrition therapy guided by indirect calorimetry (IC) decreases mortality of critically ill patients when compared to energetic targets set by predictive equations which result in over- and underfeeding. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

The efficacy and safety of continuous blood purification in neonates with septic shock and acute kidney injury: a two-center retrospective study
Conclusion: CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. However, the mortality rate remains high, and whether CBP improves the prognosis of neonates with septic shock and AKI remains unclear.What is Known:• Over 50% of children with septic shock have severe AKI, of which 21.6% required CBP.• The clinical application of CBP in septic shock has attracted increasing attention.What is New:• CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI.• The m...

Vancomycin Removal and Pharmacokinetics During Accelerated Venovenous Hemofiltration
ConclusionVancomycin is significantly removed by AVVH, which requires supplemental dosing after completion of the AVVH session to maintain desired serum concentrations. Therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin serum concentrations is recommended for patients undergoing AVVH. (Source: Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy)

The influence of continuous renal replacement therapy on 1,3- β-d-glucan levels in critically ill patients: a single-center retrospective propensity score study
Ren Fail. 2023;45(2):2255680. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2023.2255680. Epub 2023 Oct 2.ABSTRACT1,3-β-d-Glucan (BDG) is commonly used for diagnosing invasive fungal infections (IFIs). While exposure to cellulose-based hemodialyzers is known to cause false-positive BDG results, the impact of modern hemofilters used in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) remains unclear. This retrospective, single-center cohort study aimed to evaluate the effect of CRRT on BDG levels in critically ill patients. We included adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with ≥1 BDG measurement between December 2019 and December 2020. The prima...

Maintenance of Ionized Calcium During Prolonged Extreme Massive Transfusion During Liver Transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Our empiric calcium replacement strategy of 1 gram of calcium chloride per liter of citrated bank blood transfused, in 200 mg/200 mL increments, resulted in successful maintenance of ionized calcium during the anhepatic phase of liver transplantation while on continuous veno-venous hemofiltration.PMID:37768774 (Source: WMJ)
