Understanding CRT Modes

What is the primary goal of the ICU Advantage channel?

• To promote hospital services

• To sell medical equipment

• To provide free critical care educational content

• To offer paid courses on ICU care

What are the two main principles discussed in the CRT modes overview?

• Convection and diffusion

• Ultrafiltration and adsorption

• Filtration and osmosis

• Hemofiltration and hemodialysis

What is the main purpose of Slow Continuous Ultrafiltration (SCUF)?

• To safely remove fluid from patients with fluid overload

• To remove large molecules

• To increase blood pressure

• To balance electrolytes

In CVVH, what is used to drive convection?

• Blood pump

• Effluent

• Replacement fluid

• Dialysate

Which principle is primarily used in Continuous Veno-Veno Hemodialysis (CVVHD)?

• Adsorption

• Ultrafiltration

• Convection

• Diffusion

What is the main advantage of using CVVHDF over other CRT modes?

• It provides the most comprehensive clearance and support

• It is the fastest mode

• It requires no replacement fluid

• It is the least expensive

Which CRT mode uses both dialysate and replacement fluid?

• CVVHDF

• CVVH

• CVVHD

• SCUF

What is the primary indication for using CVVHD?

• Fluid overload

• Uremia and severe acid-base or electrolyte imbalances

• Low blood sugar

• High blood pressure

What is a common feature of all CRT modes discussed?

• They all use dialysate

• They all require patient sedation

• They all involve some form of adsorption

• They all use the same filter type
