CHF Solutions to Host Webinar Discussing Treatment of Fluid Overload in Pediatric Patients
Fluid overload is associated with significant increases in morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. Maintaining fluid balance while assuring hemodynamic stability in critically ill pediatric patients is crucial to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. Diuretics and traditional CRRT devices are not always optimal for pediatric patients with fluid overload.
The Aquadex SmartFlow™ System is used to remove excess fluid precisely and gently in a way that maintains stable blood flow in the heart and vessels (hemodynamic stability). A retrospective, multi-center study of 32 critically ill pediatric patients showed that 97% of these patients survived to the end of therapy when their fluid overload was treated with the Aquadex system.1

About the Aquadex SmartFlow System
The Aquadex SmartFlow system delivers clinically proven therapy using a simple, flexible and smart method of removing excess fluid from patients suffering from hypervolemia (fluid overload). The Aquadex SmartFlow system is indicated for temporary (up to 8 hours) or extended (longer than 8 hours in patients who require hospitalization) use in adult and pediatric patients weighing 20 kg or more whose fluid overload is unresponsive to medical management, including diuretics. All treatments must be administered by a health care provider, within an outpatient or inpatient clinical setting, under physician prescription, both having received training in extracorporeal therapies.
