ABSTRACT: Background
Fluid overload is associated with worse outcome in critically ill patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Net ultrafiltration (UFNET) allows precise control of the fluid removal but is frequently ceased due to hemodynamic instability episodes. However, approximately 50% of the hemodynamic instability episodes in ICU patients treated with CRRT are not associated with preload dependence (i.e., are not related to a decrease in cardiac preload), suggesting that volume removal is not responsible for these episodes of hemodynamic impairment. The use of advanced hemodynamic monitoring, comprising continuous cardiac output monitoring to repeatedly assess preload dependency, could allow securing UFNET to allow fluid balance control an
