Abstract:
The authors have developed a system for volumetric control of continuous haemodialysis. The article describes this system and reports its successful use in providing renal support in the intensive care unit to 10 patients with multiorgan failure. In addition to providing effective treatment of uraemia, it permits the precise control of fluid balance in a prospective manner ("dial-up" fluid balance) while reducing nursing workload.
