AGUILAR-ARCIGA, Themis Gwendolyne e ESTRADA-GUTIERREZ, Alfonso. Fluid overload of patients with obstetric complications requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy. Med. crít. (Col. Mex. Med. Crít.) [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.5, pp.256-262. Epub 23-Maio-2022. ISSN 2448-8909. https://doi.org/10.35366/102354.
Introduction:
Water overload is a frequent phenomenon whose management is a key element since it has been related to organ dysfunction and higher mortality. To date, there is no consensus on the optimal fluid management for patients with acute kidney injury associated with obstetric complications (PR-AKI).
Objective:
To evaluate fluid overload in patients with PR-AKI who require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
Material and methods:
An observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, comparative study was carried out. A review of the records of patients with PR-AKI and who required CRRT was carried out during the period of January 2013-December 2019 at the Hospital de la Mujer de Morelia.
Results:
15 patients from 2013-2019 were admitted to the ICU of the Women’s Hospital. The average age of the patients was 26.15 years. The average weight of the patients upon admission was 75.71 kg with a percentage of fluid overload of 13.7%. The severity of the patients according to the APACHE II classification was 23.6 points. The average hospital stay within the ICU was 13.1 days, while the average assisted mechanical ventilation was 7.5 days.
Conclusions:
The fluid overload of the patients with PR-AKI was 13.7%; It is associated with longer days of stay within the Intensive Care Unit and more days of assisted mechanical ventilation, however, it is not a factor that indicates progression to chronic kidney disease or death in this group of patients.
