1. Continuous renal replacement therapy
CRRT is a medical therapy used in intensive care units to manage patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe kidney dysfunction. It involves the continuous removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood.
CRRT is used when a patient’s kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to dangerous levels of toxins and fluid overload.
CRRT differs from hemodialysis in that it is slower and performed continuously over 24 hours or longer periods. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, is intermittent and typically lasts for a few hours.
Yes, CRRT can be used cautiously in patients with heart failure to manage fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, with careful monitoring of hemodynamic status.
CRRT provides gentler and more gradual fluid and solute removal, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients who cannot tolerate the rapid changes associated with conventional hemodialysis.
2. BLOOD SUGAR FASTING
Fast for at least 8 hours before the test. Drink water as usual.
Yes, it helps diagnose diabetes by measuring fasting blood glucose levels.
Elevated levels may suggest diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism.
Yes, fasting is necessary for accurate results.
Results are typically available within a few hours to a day.
3. By Pass Surgery
Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a procedure to replace damaged or blocked arteries in the heart with blood vessels from another part of the body.
Patients with severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked, may need bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.
A surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, or chest and connects it to the blocked coronary artery, bypassing the blocked section to improve blood flow.
Risks include infection, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and reactions to anaesthesia, though serious complications are rare.
The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed and the patient’s condition.
