Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: A noncomparative, descriptive account of a case series. Data were collected prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. SETTING: A tertiary care facility in a statewide emergency medical services system. PATIENTS: RESULTS:
Continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration with dialysis days totaled 308 (mean 10.9). All patients received full protein alimentation (mean protein load 131 g/day). The blood urea nitrogen concentration was controlled, generally to 40 to 75 mg/dL (14.3 to 26.7 mmol/L) within 3 to 5 days. Total daily urea clearance ranged from 15 to 21 g/day. Five (18%) of the 28 patients survived. CONCLUSION:
