SCUF Slow Continuous Ultrafiltration. SCUF is not associated with fluid replacement and is therefore the simplest form of CRRT. The primary aim of SCUF is to achieve safe and effective management of fluid overload. SCUF can be either veno-venous (VV) or arterio-venous (AV). • In V-VSCUF the blood is pumped through a filter by a pump. • In A-VSCUF the blood is pumped through a filter by the patients own blood pressure. (Bellomo, Ronco and Mehta, 1996:S3) A-V SCUF V-V SCUF A V V + pump V UF UF (Bellomo, Ronco and Mehta, 1996:S4) A – artery, V – vein, UF – ultra filtrate. 8
CVVHF Continuous Veno-Venous Haemofiltration Arterial cannulation carries added risks of bleeding, infection and vessel damage. For this reason, the development of pumps to achieve continuous haemofiltration using venous access only, prevails in most ICUs. A double lumen catheter is used to access a central vein, usually femoral, subclavian or jugular. Blood is driven though a highly permeable membrane (haemofilter) by the peristaltic pump. This is achieved through an extracorporeal circuit, whereby blood is removed through one lumen (called the arterial) and then returned to circulation via the other lumen (called the venous lumen). Ultrafiltrate generated as a result of movement across the membrane is replaced with appropriate fluid to achieve volume control and blood purification. The addition of replacement fluid may be pre- filter (predilution) or post-filter (postdilution). (Bellomo, Ronco and Mehta, 1996:S3) and (Bellomo in Eo, 1998:367). V + pump V UF V – vein, R – replacement fluid, UF – ultrafiltrate. R 9
