Objective: To investigate the impacts of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration on the microcirculation in patients with acute kidney injury.
Methods: A prospective observational pilot study conducted in a 40-bed, open clinical-surgical intensive care unit of a private tertiary care hospital located in the city of São Paulo (SP), Brazil. Microcirculation was assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy by means of a 15mm probe placed over the thenar eminence.
Article Synopsis
- * Current techniques for directly assessing microcirculation, such as laser Doppler flowmetry and videomicroscopy, are not widely used in clinical practice, even though they exist.
- * Looking ahead, integrating microcirculation assessment into patient care could improve tissue perfusion monitoring and resuscitation strategies for critically ill patients.
