# Interference of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy on PiCCO Hemodynamic Monitoring: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report shows how dialysis therapy can affect heart monitoring in critically ill patients.

## Contribution

It highlights the need to adjust catheter placement or pause dialysis for accurate heart measurements.

## Key findings

- Proximity of catheters during dialysis can interfere with hemodynamic measurements.
- Adjusting catheter placement or pausing dialysis improves measurement accuracy.

## Abstract

The proximity of the central venous and dialysis catheters during continuous renal replacement therapy can interfere with Pulse Index Continuous Cardiac Output hemodynamic measurements. Adjusting catheter placement or temporarily pausing continuous renal replacement therapy during measurement is essential to ensure accurate hemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients.
