Continuous renal replacement therapy with Prismaflex HF20 disposable set in children from 4 to 15 kg.

Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) in infants is challenging due to a lack of specific and widely available technology. There is need for high precision of fluid balance and hemodynamic stability. The aim of this study is to report the first experience with the newly developed Prismaflex HF20 disposable set (HF20 set) in infants with CVVHDF.

First experience with the Prismaflex HF 20 set in four infants.

Purpose: Renal replacement therapy (RRT) in infants is challenging due to a lack of widely available technology that is specific to this patient population. We present our initial experience with the newly developed Prismaflex HF20 disposable set used on the Prismaflex device in infants with renal failure.

Patients: Four infants, age 5 to 24 months, were enrolled.
