Abstract
Introduction: Hemadsorption with new sorbent cartridges is an emerging extracorporeal blood purification technique. Flow distribution inside the sorbent is one of the main issues concerning the device's performance and optimal sorbent utilization. In this experiment, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of vibration during adsorption by measuring the removal of vancomycin.
Methods: In this experimental study, 1,000 mL of saline with 10 g of vancomycin was circulated in a closed circuit (set flow of 250 mL/min) simulating a hemadsorption blood run using HA380 minimodule cartridge containing 75 g of wet resin. This vibration model was implemented with a damping head device installed in front of the adsorption cartridge during the experiment. The kinetics of the vancomycin were assessed by removal ratio over 120 min.
Results: We found no difference between the two models. Adsorption with and without vibration did not differ significantly for partial reduction ratios, overall amount of adsorbed molecule, or adsorption kinetics.
Conclusion: The current design and structure of the minimodule cartridge demonstrated no difference in small-middle solute removal. Further improvement with the addition of mechanical vibration to the device was not observed.
期刊介绍:
Practical information on hemodialysis, hemofiltration, peritoneal dialysis and apheresis is featured in this journal. Recognizing the critical importance of equipment and procedures, particular emphasis has been placed on reports, drawn from a wide range of fields, describing technical advances and improvements in methodology. Papers reflect the search for cost-effective solutions which increase not only patient survival but also patient comfort and disease improvement through prevention or correction of undesirable effects. Advances in vascular access and blood anticoagulation, problems associated with exposure of blood to foreign surfaces and acute-care nephrology, including continuous therapies, also receive attention. Nephrologists, internists, intensivists and hospital staff involved in dialysis, apheresis and immunoadsorption for acute and chronic solid organ failure will find this journal useful and informative. ''Blood Purification'' also serves as a platform for multidisciplinary experiences involving nephrologists, cardiologists and critical care physicians in order to expand the level of interaction between different disciplines and specialities.
