The Impact

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of anti-platelet drug/s on duration of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in those patients where anti-coagulants were not used due to certain contraindications and in cases where patients were on anti-platelet drugs and were given anti-coagulant during CRRT. Method: This single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted using the medical records patients treated with CRRT in the cardiac ICU of the inpatient urban facility, located in North India. Data was collected from only those patients who received CRRT for the duration of at least 12 h. Patient’s in NAC group were not on any anti-platelet/s and did not receive anti-coagulant during CRRT. AC and AP group patients received anti-coagulant alone or were already on anti-platelet/s and did not receive anti-coagulant respectively while ACAP group patients were on anti-platelet drug/s and also received anti-coagulant during CRRT. Result: Patients in AC, AP, or ACAP group showed significantly ( p < 0.001) higher CRRT filter life compared to NAC group. The median CRRT filter life was significantly higher in the ACAP group compared to AC ( p < 0.05) and AP ( p < 0.001) groups. Conclusion: This study indicates that systemic anti-platelet therapy can provide additional support in critical patients undergoing CRRT even with or without anti-coagulant therapy. However, the increase in CRRT filter life was more profound in patients who were on anti-platelet/s and also received anti-coagulant drug/s during CRRT.

AbstractBackgroundFor the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), critically ill patients had a high mortality rate. We aimed to assess the association between prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT) and mortality in patients with COVID-19 undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we included all patients with COVID-19 undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation from February 12nd to March 2nd, 2020. All patients were followed until death or March 28th, and all survivors were followed for at least 30 days.ResultsFor 36 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation, the mean age was 69.4 (± 10.8) years, and 30 patients (83.3%) were men. Twenty-two (61.1%) patients received PIRRT (PIRRT group) and 14 cases (38.9%) were managed with conventional strategy (non-PIRRT group). There were no differences in age, sex, comorbidities, complications, treatments and most of the laboratory findings. During median follow-up period of 9.5 (interquartile range 4.3-33.5) days, 13 of 22 (59.1%) patients in the PIRRT group and 11 of 14 (78.6%) patients in the non-PIRRT group died. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated prolonged survival in patients in the PIRRT group compared with that in the non-PIRRT group (P = 0.042). The association between PIRRT and a reduced risk of mortality remained significant in three different models, with adjusted hazard ratios varying from 0.332 to 0.398. Higher levels of IL-2 receptor, TNF-α, procalcitonin, prothrombin time, and NT-proBNP were significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality in patients with PIRRT.ConclusionPIRRT may be beneficial for the treatment of COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation. Further prospective multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are required.
