Abstract
One of the disadvantages of continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) is that a daily fluid balance of 12–20 1 has to be handled manually. To overcome this laborsome and potentially inaccurate handling, we developed a simple mechanical system which enables an automatic exchange of 4.5 1 substitution fluid and an adjustable volume of filtrate (between 4.5 and 6.5 1) during one nursing shift [1].
