CRRT catheter guidance

In Critical Care, CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) catheter guidance uses ultrasound to precisely insert vascular access catheters for critically ill patients requiring continuous kidney support. This technique enhances patient safety and efficacy by visualizing vessels and surrounding anatomy, minimizing complications like arterial puncture or pneumothorax, crucial for renal replacement therapy.

Ultrasound guidance optimizes the placement of CRRT catheters, reducing insertion failures and improving patient outcomes in intensive care settings. By providing real-time imaging, it ensures accurate and safe central venous access, making it an indispensable tool in modern medical and ultrasound practice for critical care management.
