Description of intervention(s) / exposure

To observe the effect of using citrate as regional anticoagulation during CVVH during the period from 1st Jul to 31st Dec 2010

To observe the effect on circuit lifetime, the rate of correction of metabolic acidosis and any untoward side effect like accumulation of citrate, hypo or hypernatremia, hypo or hypercalcemia, metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis

Outcomes

Primary outcome [1]

The lifttime of the CVVH circuit, ie how long did each session of CVVH last and for what reason that the dialysis was terminated, eg filter clot ect.

Timepoint [1]

From start to end of each session of CVVH that use citrate as regional anticoagulant

Secondary outcome [1]

Rate of correction of patient's metabolic acidosis. We would like to investigate how fast the underlying metabolic acidosis ( using base deficit as the surrogate) was corrected over time by taking blood every 4 hourly.

Timepoint [1]

From start to end of each session of CVVH that use citrate as regional anticoagulant

Secondary outcome [2]

Side effect of using citrate eg
1. accumulation of citrate
2. Hypo or hyper natremia
3. Hypo or hyper calcemia
4. Metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis

by meauring the renal function, arterial blood gas and ionized calcium every 4 hourly. If suspcious of accumulation of citrate, additional blood for anion gap, Chloride and total calcium/ionized calcium ratio will be measured.

Timepoint [2]

From start to end of each session of CVVH that use citrate as regional anticoagulant

Eligibility

Key inclusion criteria

CVVH with regional citrate anticoagulant that last for more than 4 hours

Minimum age

18 Years

Maximum age

No limit

Sex

Both males and females

Can healthy volunteers participate?

Key exclusion criteria

Summary

Brief summary

Use of citrate as regional anticoagulant had been demonstrated to associate with longer filter-life, less bleeding events and improved mortality. It is superior to unfractionated heparin in prolonging filter lifetime and the anticoagulant effect is limited within the circuit without systemic disturbances. However, the complex set up and training required had limited the widespread use of citrate. In recent years, the availability of this commercial prepared pre-mixed citrate solution had greatly simplified its use and had been published in various studies as well as a local case series. The proprietary diluted citrate solution available in Hong Kong is the Prismocitrate 10/2, Gambro, which contains 10 mmol/L of trisodium citrate and 2mmol/L of citric acid. Based on these clinical studies, our unit had modified our regional citrate CVVH regime since July 2010 and demonstrated satisfactory result. We would like to conduct a retrospective study to evaluate its effect on circuit patency, rate of correction of the patient’s metabolic disorder and any untoward electrolyte imbalance after applying this regime in a heterogeneous group of critically ill patients
