Objectives
• Indications and goals for acute renal replacement therapy
• Modalities for renal replacement therapy– Peritoneal dialysis– Intermittent hemodialysis– Continuous renal replacement therapy
(CRRT)
• Special issues related to the infant
Indications for Renal Replacement
• Volume overload
• Metabolic imbalance
• Toxins (endogenous or exogenous)
• Inability to provide needed daily fluids due to insufficient urinary excretion
Goals of Renal Replacement
• Restore fluid, electrolyte and metabolic balance
• Remove endogenous or exogenous toxins as rapidly as possible
• Permit needed therapy and nutrition
• Limit complications
Renal Replacement for the Infant: A Set of Special Challenges
• Small size of the patient
• Equipment designed for larger people
• Small blood volume will magnify effects of any errors
• Achieving access may be difficult
• Staff may have infrequent experience
Modalities for Renal Replacement
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Intermittent hemodialysis
• Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
Modalities for Renal Replacement
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Intermittent hemodialysis
• Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
PD: Considerations for Infants
ADVANTAGES• Experience in the
chronic setting• No vascular access• No extracorporeal
perfusion• Simplicity• ? Preferred modality
for cardiac patients?
DISADVANTAGES• Infectious risk• Leak• ? Respiratory
compromise?• Sodium sieving• Dead space in tubing

Modalities for Renal Replacement
• Peritoneal dialysis

IHD: Considerations for Infants
ADVANTAGES• Rapid particle and fluid
removal; most efficient modality
• Does not require anticoagulation 24h/d
DISADVANTAGES• Vascular access• Complicated• Large extracorporeal
volume• Adapted equipment• ? Poorly tolerated
Modalities for Renal Replacement
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Intermittent hemodialysis
• Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
CRRT for Infants: A Series of Challenges
• Small patient with small blood volume
• Equipment designed for bigger people
• No specific protocols
• Complications may be magnified
• No clear guidelines
• Limited outcome data
Potential Complications of Infant CRRT
• Volume related problems
• Biochemical and nutritional problems
• Hemorrhage, infection
• Thermic loss

Infant CRRT in Seattle: Overview
• Coordinated by nephrology
• Performed in infant/pediatric ICU
• Set up by dialysis nurses
• Run at the bedside by neonatology or critical care nurses
• Dedicated CRRT device– BM-25: 1999 – 2005– Prisma: 2005 - present
CRRT Access in the Neonate:What Works?
• Hemodialysis Line: 7 Fr double lumen
• Two single lumen lines:– 5 Fr catheters or introducers
• Umbilical lines:– 5 Fr UAC; 7 Fr UVC
• Leg position - be creative
• Tape on the skin - may need to get creative

Bradykinin Release Syndrome
• Mucosal congestion, bronchospasm, hypotension at start of CRRT
• Resolves with discontinuation of CRRT
• Thought to be related to bradykinin release when patient’s blood contacts hemofilter
• Exquisitely pH sensitive

Simple Systems to Limit Likelihood of Bradykinin Release Syndrome
• Don’t prime on with blood
• Don’t use the AN-69 membrane
Thermal Regulation
• Hotline® blood warming tubing
• Place at venous return to patient
• Leave on at set temperature of 39 C
• Treat temp elevations if they occur
Infant CRRT in Seattle: CRRT Staffing
• Dialysis RN sets-up & initiates therapy
• PICU/IICU RN manages patient
• Nephrology/Dialysis RN on call 24/7
• Acuity assigned to pump as if a separate patient
• Staffing determined by acuity
Infant CRRT in Seattle: How to Handle a Rare Procedure
• Developed an Acute Initiation Checklist defining specific roles/actions for:– Infant ICU MD– Nephrology MD– Infant ICU RN– Dialysis RN– IV access MD
Acute Initiation Checklist: Example
Infant ICU Nurse• Time Zero:
– Move pt to room with dialysis water
– Get orders from resident for IV fluids to keep access open
• 20 – 40 min:– Meet MD; discuss RRT plan
• 60 – 120 min:– Meet ICU team
Dialysis Nurse• 10 – 60 min:
– Arrive and begin setup
• 20 – 40 min:– Meet MD; discuss RRT plan
• 60 – 120 min:– Complete prime; ready for
access– Begin RRT– Meet ICU team
Acute Initiation Checklist: Example
Nephrology MD• Time Zero:
– Contact dialysis nurse to start RRT urgently
• 10 – 20 min:– Bring catheters to ICU– Enter orders for RRT
• 20 – 40 min:– Meet ICU MDs & RNs,
discuss plan
• 60 – 120 min:– Present in ICU for initiation– Meet ICU team
IV Access MD• 10 – 30 min:
– Arrive and begin insertion of dialysis access
• 60 min (or when circuit is ready for Rx)– Complete insertion of access– Connect ports to heparin IV
solutions
Infant RRT: Summary
• All modalities of RRT possible for infants
• No modality is perfect
• Technical challenges can be met
• Careful planning with institution, program, and individuals improves care
• Cooperation, communication, and collaboration will increase our success
