ABSTRACT
The continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (HFVVC), is a technique realized in post-operated patients of cardiac surgery; it consists of extracting plasmatic water of the circulatory system, through a semi permeable membrane (hemoconcentrador) by convection and pressure gradient, with the aim of diminishing hipervolemia, improving the renal function, to eliminate mediators of inflammatory answer and to optimize the hemodinámico state of the patients. This procedure is realized by the personnel of perfusion infirmary in the unit of intensive therapy with a circuit that weapon and is designed in a white area. One of the main advantages that are adjudged to the HFVVC therapies, is the tolerance haemodynamics to the extraction of great volumes of liquid in gradual and controlled form, in patients in critical state.REFERENCES
