Abstract

Objective: To describe the timing, certain indications for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and the treatment outcomes for this patient group. Participants: Patients who underwent ECMO and received CRRT at the Centre for Critical Care Medicine, Bach Mai Hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive, observational study conducted on patients receiving both CRRT and ECMO techniques simultaneously. A total of 48 patients admitted to the center from August 2023 to June 2024 were included in the study, with 158 CRRT sessions performed until the patients were discharged from the center. Results: CRRT initiation occurred mostly within 6 hours (60.4%) after starting ECMO, with no cases beyond 24 hours. The most common indications were metabolic acidosis (52.1%), multi-organ failure (41.7%) and acute kidney injury (33,3%). Overall, 27 (56.3%) patients survived. Conclusion: ECMO patients requiring CRRT are critically ill.
