Organ Support ECOS Techniques

Kidneys – Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration (CVVH)

– Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodialysis (CVVHD)

– Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF)

– Sustained Low Efficiency Hemodialysis (SLED)

Liver – Albumin Hemodialysis (AHD)

– Continuous Plasma Filtration/Adsorption (CPFA)

– Plasma Exchange (PE)

– Hemoperfusion (HP)

Heart – Venous-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO)

– Slow Continuous Ultrafiltration (SCUF)

Lungs – Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO)

– Extracorporeal Carbon dioxide Removal (ECCO2R)
