Analysis of Paediatric Treatments With multiFiltratePRO (ECHOped)

Efficacy and Safety of Paediatric CVVHD Treatment With MultiFiltratePRO: A Prospective Multicenter Study

This clinical study evaluates the performance of the MultifiltratePro in pediatric mode for Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHD) in children. Its primary aim is to assess the efficacy of the MultifiltratePro in paediatric mode, specifically in achieving at least 80% of the prescribed effluent dose within 72 hours. Additionally, the study focuses on the safety of this mode in a paediatric setting, closely monitoring for clinical adverse events, hemodynamic instability, and electrolyte imbalances. Paediatric patients with body weights between 8kg and 40kg will be treated with the MultifiltratePro for a period of up to 10 days, with the treatment duration and approach being tailored to the severity of each patient's condition.
