Table 4.

Reasons for modality switch within first three RRT sessions, based on initial modality used

Initial modality Switched to SLED Switched to CRRT Switched to IHD
SLED -- hemodynamic intolerance (n = 1)

limited nursing availability (n = 1)
improved hemodynamics (n = 3)

CRRT none -- improved hemodynamics (n = 4)

IHD hemodynamic intolerance (n = 4)

deteriorated clinical status (n = 1)
hemodynamic intolerance (n = 1) --

SLED = sustained low efficiency dialysis

CRRT = continuous renal replacement therapy

IHD = intermittent hemodialysis
