Clinical experience of pumped arteriovenous haemofiltration in the management of patients in oliguric renal failure following cardiothoracic surgery.
Pumped continuous arteriovenous haemofiltration offers a means of managing oliguric renal failure. We report our experience with the use of this technique in the management of patients with oliguric renal failure complicating cardiothoracic surgery, and conclude that it allows management of this complication without transfer to a renal unit.
