Access


If you don’t have it you might as well go
home.
This is the most important aspect of CRRT
therapy.




Adequacy.
Filter life.
Increased blood loss.
Staff satisfaction.
Vascular Access

Ideal Catheter Characteristics




Easy Insertion
Permits Adequate Blood Flow without Vessel Damage
Minimal Technical Flaws
 High Recirculation Rate
 Kinking
Shorter and Larger Catheters
SIZE DOES MATTER


Lower Resistance
Improved Bloodflow
Vascular Access for CRRT



Match catheter size to patient size and
anatomical site
One dual- or triple-lumen or two single lumen
uncuffed catheters
Sites



femoral
internal jugular
avoid sub-clavian vein if possible
Pediatric CRRT Vascular Access:
Performance = Blood Flow


Minimum 30 to 50 ml/min to minimize access
and filter clotting
Maximum rate of 400 ml/min/1.73m2 or



10-12 ml/kg/min in neonates and infants
4-6 ml/kg/min in children
2-4 ml/kg/min in adolescents

Vascular Access
“Location, location, location!”
Femoral Vein
Pros:
 Accessible under almost any conditions
 Easier to maintain hemostasis
Cons:
 Potential for kinking
 More recirculation
 Thrombosis
 Problematic flow with increased abdominal pressures
Vascular Access
“Location, location, location!”
Subclavian Vein
Pros:
 Shorter catheter/better flow
 Less recirculation
Cons:
 Potential for kinking
 Difficult hemostasis
 Potential for venous narrowing
 Less accessible with cervical trauma

Internal Jugular Vein
Pros:
 Shorter catheter/better flow
 Less recirculation
Cons:
 Difficult hemostasis
 Less accessible with cervical trauma
 Catheter length problematic in small infants



5 year experience with Pediatric CRRT using
the “pigtail” as the CaCL replacement
If not for citrate CRRT also serves as an
added central line for other med/TPN infusion
What staff at bedside ever has sufficient
central access?
Vascular Access
What size catheter should we use?





Don’t use a 5 French catheter.
Choose the largest diameter that is safe for the child.
Choose the smallest catheter that will achieve the
necessary flow easily.
Choose the the minimum length to position the tip for
optimal flow.
In the femoral position, longer catheters will minimize
recirculation
Vascular Access
Where should the catheter go?






What sites are available?
Are there anatomic or physiologic constraints?
Which vessel is optimal for the catheter size?
Is the patient coagulopathic?
Consider patient mobility and risk of kinking.
Is there elevated intra-abdominal pressure?
Vascular Access
Where should the catheter go?
Answer: Internal Jugular vein if possible
