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.
Background And Study Aims: Invagination, which can occur in any part of the intestine, usually affects children and is the second most common cause of intestinal obstruction after pyloric stenosis. The cause of these intussusceptions in children is usually unknown and they typically occur within the ileocolic region. Management of pediatric patients with the condition often consists of surgical intervention.

- * 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.
