Understanding CRT Modes

What is the primary goal of the ICU Advantage channel?

• To sell medical equipment

• To promote hospital services

• To provide free critical care educational content

• To offer paid courses on ICU care

Which principle is NOT a part of CRT therapy?

• Hemofiltration

• Hemodialysis

• Ultrafiltration

• Photosynthesis

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

• To increase blood pressure

• To balance electrolytes

• To safely remove fluid from patients with fluid overload

• To remove large molecules

In CVVH, what is used to drive convection?

• Ultrasound

• Replacement fluid

• Heat

• Dialysate

Which mode uses the principle of diffusion?

• SCUF

• CVVH

• CVVHDF

• CVVHD

What is the primary indication for using CVVHD?

• High blood pressure

• Uremia and severe acid-base or electrolyte imbalances

• Fluid overload

• Low blood sugar

Which mode combines both hemofiltration and hemodialysis?

• SCUF

• CVVH

• CVVHD

• CVVHDF

What is a benefit of using CVVHDF over other modes?

• It requires no setup changes to switch modes

• It only removes small molecules

• It does not impact pH levels

• It is the least efficient

What principle is present in all CRT modes, depending on the filter type?

• Evaporation

• Diffusion

• Adsorption

• Convection

What should viewers do to catch future lessons on CRT therapy?

• Attend a workshop

• Visit a hospital

• Buy a textbook
