Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis (SLED) with Regional Citrate Anticoagulation (RCA) and new dialysis equipment: a prospective study with serum citrate measurements and electrolyte monitoring
Our simplified regional citrate anticoagulation protocol for SLED with a new "conventional" dialysis machine resulted safe and effective, also for critically ill patients, ensuring a good match between the prescribed and delivered dialysis dose. Close electrolyte monitoring and early supplementation allowed to tailor the dialysis prescription to the patient's actual needs, while avoiding KRT-related complications.
