In addition, some units change filters routinely after 24 to 72 hours. For optimal anticoagulation, citrate flow is adjusted to blood flow, targeting at a concentration of 3 to 5 mmol/l in the filter [71]. Epub 2002 Sep 7.

Manipulation of citrate or blood flow, ultrafiltrate, dialysate, or replacement rates, and their mutual relation changes the amount of buffer substrate entering the patient's circulation. According to Poisseuille's law, flow through a catheter is related to the fourth power of radius and inversely related to length, indicating that a thick (13 to 14 French) and short catheter is preferable.

CRRT is delivered using sterile fluids, therefore, solutions can be delivered as either dialysis fluid or as replacement fluids into the blood path. Because anticoagulatory strength of the solution depends on the citrate concentration, it is best expressed as molar strength of citrate. 2006, 76: 681-689.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), which runs slowly but continuously over 24 h, is more likely to be used than intermittent RRT in the ICU. Vascular Access. 10.1046/j.1523-1755.2001.00809.x. We found that increased use of anticoagulation is able to overcome the increased risk of CRRT filter clotting in patients with COVID-19, as hemofilter half-life was similar between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, while the use of systemic heparin was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. 1998, 64: 83-87. 10.1016/j.jcrc.2006.02.002. Due to the citrate load associated with transfusion, patients having received a massive transfusion are also at risk of citrate accumulation.

Differences in circuit life between studies can be explained in part by the wide variety of citrate dose (2 to 6 mmol/l blood flow), fixed citrate infusion or citrate dose titrated on postfilter iCa, the use of dialysis or filtration (predilution or postdilution), differences in CRRT dose and filtration fraction, or by a reduction in citrate flow used for control of metabolic alkalosis. Results: Sixty-five patients were analyzed, with 17 using the anti-factor Xa protocol to guide systemic heparin dosing whereas 48 were treated with standard of care anticoagulation dosed by PTT .
