In a critical review, it was demonstrated that therapeutic ultrasound was effective in improving pain, function, and cartilage repair in knee osteoarthritis. [ citation needed ] Another systematic review and meta-analysis of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on knee osteoarthritis demonstrated a significant effect on pain reduction and knee ...
Slow continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF) is an artificial method which approximately mimics the ultrafiltration function of the kidneys. SCUF is a continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally used to remove fluid from fluid overloaded patients with acute kidney failure .
Using a form of ultrafiltration, the filter separates the excess salt and water from the blood and the blood is returned to the patient while the fluid is collected in a bag for later disposal. Anti-coagulation therapy is often used with aquapheresis to prevent blood from clotting the ultrafiltration filter.
Hemofiltration is sometimes used in combination with hemodialysis, when it is termed hemodiafiltration. Blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a high flux dialyzer, and a high rate of ultrafiltration is used, so there is a high rate of movement of water and solutes from blood to dialysate that must be replaced by substitution fluid that is infused directly into the blood line.
Continuous wound infiltration first appeared on the market in the late 1990s when a US company (I-Flow Corporation) found a way to evenly spread and continuously infiltrate a local anesthetic, via a specially designed multi holed catheter, inside the wound, to enable post-operative pain treatment.
Before implementing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), acute renal failure (ARF) in critically ill, multiple organ failure patients was managed by intermittent hemodialysis and the mortality rate was very high. [4] Hemodialysis is effective in clearance and ultrafiltration, but it has deleterious effects on hemodynamic stability. [5]
