... Abstract In this chapter, anticoagulation treatments for adsorption techniques in continuous renal replacement therapy (CKRT) will be reviewed. Anticoagulation used with adsorption techniques is quite different than anticoagulation in classical CKRT with nonadsorptive therapies. Regional...

... access and a safe and effective circuit anticoagulation method are key requisites. The right internal jugular (RIJ) vein is the preferred route for insertion with the tip of the catheter placed in the right atrium. Both femoral veins offer a valuable alternative access, but catheters must be longer...

... Abstract During extracorporeal dialysis, some anticoagulation strategy is necessary to prevent the coagulation of blood. Heparin has historically been used as an anticoagulant because of its efficacy combined with low cost. However, a variable incidence of hemorrhagic complications (5-30%) has...

... Abstract Bleeding is the most important adverse effect of antithrombotic treatment and may be a major cause of morbidity, longstanding debilitation, and even mortality. In the case of severe hemorrhage in a patient who uses anticoagulant agents, it may be crucial to reverse anticoagulant...

... Abstract Over the last decades, several major improvements in anticoagulant therapy strongly modified the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients. Current research focuses on the development of new anticoagulant drugs, personalized therapeutic strategies based on individual risks...

... Abstract The different methods for anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit for renal replacement therapy (RRT) vary in safety profile, bleeding being the most important side effect. Avoiding severe bleeding is a key aim of RRT prescription. The present paper is a clinical review comparing...

... Abstract World wide, heparins are the most commonly used anticoagulants for renal replacementtherapy (RRT). In the intensive care unit (ICU) keeping the RRT circuit patent is more difficultthan during routine outpatient hemodialysis, as ICU patients typically have sepsis and/orinflammation...

... Abstract Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents are very commonly prescribed. They have clear benefits in cardiovascular disease but confer a risk of haemorrhage, particularly in the context of therapeutic procedures. Therapeutic endoscopic procedures also have clear benefits but confer a risk...
