[Veno-venous hemofiltration with controlled ultrafiltration]

We haven't been using continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration in our unit as an extrarenal depuration technique since 1991. With this work we want to provide our experience in what we call controlled ultrafiltration, technique which we have been using more frequently in the last two years and which consists on using the venous bomb of double head for ultrafiltration (UF) extraction, managing to obtain a more accurate control of it. The development of this technique has allowed us to obtain a higher control of the patient, reduce the risk of hypothermia and reduce the nursing burden. We show the procedure of priming, connection, disconnection and the necessary material, as well as the advantages and specific care we perform in our unit.
