Table 4 Reasons for modality switch within first three RRT sessions, based on initial modality used

From: The hemodynamic tolerability and feasibility of sustained low efficiency dialysis in the management of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury

Initial modality

Switched to SLED

Switched to CRRT

Switched to IHD

SLED

--

hemodynamic intolerance (n = 1)

limited nursing availability (n = 1)

improved hemodynamics (n = 3)

CRRT

none

--

improved hemodynamics (n = 4)

IHD

hemodynamic intolerance (n = 4)

deteriorated clinical status (n = 1)

hemodynamic intolerance (n = 1)

--

  1. SLED = sustained low efficiency dialysis
  2. CRRT = continuous renal replacement therapy
  3. IHD = intermittent hemodialysis
