From KDIGO Guidance:
- Good vascular access allowing high blood flows to be reliably achieved
- Reducing blood viscosity through the filter
- Predilution fluids
- Treatments that involve diffusion as opposed to ultrafiltration
- Reducing blood-air contact in the bubble trap
- Ensuring prompt response to the filter alarms resulting in rapid correction of any suboptimal filter conditions which may have arisen
Other
- Prime the circuit with saline or heparin
- Give intermittent 0.9% saline flushes (50-200ml every 30-60mins)
