No Monitoring of Post-filter Ionized Calcium in Regional Citrate Anticoagulation

November 9, 2022 updated by: Nattachai Srisawat ,M.D., Chulalongkorn University
Do no monitor of post-circuit ionized calcium affact the filter life time of continueous renal replacement therapy with regional citrate anticoagulation circuit? A randomized control trial

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Regional citrate anticoagulation is the gold standard of anticoagulation in patient receiving CRRT. In RCA circuit, there was a monitoring of pre-filter (systemic) ionized calcium and post-filter (circuit) ionized calcium. Pre-filter ionized calcium was monitored for observe the adverse effect of citrate such as hypocalcemia, citrate intoxication. However, post-filter ionized calcium was monitored for adjustment the citrate dose. We find many problem with frequently monitoring of post-ionized calcium such as confusion from markedly abnormal result, how to adjustment the citrate dose ,and increase workload for nurses. We hypothesis that if we can monitoring of post-filter ionized calcium?

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: No monitoring of post filter ionized calcium

Starting dialysis with continuous renal replacement therapy with regional citrate anticoagulation.

Patients will receive standard treatments such as anti-bacterial agents, mechanical ventilator, vasopressors as appropriate.

Citrate dose start at 4 mmol/L and no adjustment of citrate dose. Post-filter ionized calcium result will blind for physician.

Other laboratory such as pre-filter ionized calcium, electrolyte, ABG, calcium, the ratio of total calcium to systemic ionized calcium will monitor every 8 hour.

Starting RCA 4 mmol/L (adjust the rate by BFR)
Vasopressors such as Norepinephrine, dopamine, milrinone, dobutamine
Antibacterial agents deemed appropriate by physicians in the ICU
Prismaflex
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Monitoring of post filter ionized calcium

Starting dialysis with continuous renal replacement therapy with regional citrate anticoagulation.

Patients will receive standard treatments such as anti-bacterial agents, mechanical ventilator, vasopressors as appropriate.

Citrate dose start at 4 mmol/L with adjustment of citrate dose to acheive post-filter ionized calcium at 0.25-0.35 mmol/L.

Other laboratory such as pre-filter ionized calcium, electrolyte, ABG, calcium, the ratio of total calcium to systemic ionized calcium will monitor every 8 hour.

Starting RCA 4 mmol/L (adjust the rate by BFR)
Vasopressors such as Norepinephrine, dopamine, milrinone, dobutamine
Antibacterial agents deemed appropriate by physicians in the ICU
