Abstract

Continuous renal replacement therapy is expected to improve unfavorable status in critical care. As precise volume control is most important to maintain the damaged circulation system, blood and solution control should be carried out precisely. Recently, further technical development was achieved in this area, and quality of these products--including disposable kits--has been improved. Nevertheless, incidental and accidental errors in human and equipment are sometimes happen. In order to decrease it, the staff understands the system of treatment and is familiar to the routine check point.
