Starling/CRRT Observational Study

Hemodynamic optimization of critically ill patients is a goal for clinicians in order to afford the patient the best possible outcomes. Being able to precisely and rapidly determine patient fluid responsiveness provides the bedside physician and nursing staff the information needed to make critical decisions in regard to the patient's fluid status and management of additional fluids and medications. As fluid management and cardiac output determination are linked to better decision-making and improved outcomes in ICU, the use of a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness becomes a key tool for patient management. This study is designed to collect treatment and outcome data on patients that have undergone hemodynamic monitoring during CRRT therapy.
