Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The CRUF trial is a prospective randomized monocentric trial comparing different impact of diuretics versus ultrafiltration on renal congestion, plasma refill rate, echocardiographic filling pressures, neurohormonal activation and biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ultrafiltration group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

ultrafiltration

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Ultrafiltration through double lumen catheter, via central vein (Vena jugularis interna or Vena femoralis, 11 French, 15 cm for right jugular or 20 cm for femoralis and jugularis left-position). Based on severity of fluid overload the cardiologist determines the ultrafiltration rate. 'Multifiltrate Fresenius' (extracorporeal blood volume 72ml) in SCUF (slow continuous ultrafiltration) modus with pediatric lines (54 ml extracorporeal volume in the AV-set) and a pediatric filter (Ultraflux® AV paed, blood volume 18ml). Heparin to maintain an APTT between 65 en 85 seconds during ultrafiltration.

diuretics group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

diuretics

Intervention Type DRUG

Bumetanide continuous infusion to reach a prescribed negative fluid balance: dose adjustment according to the diuretic response.
