AKI, Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal, Renal Replacement Therapy, Mechanical Ventilation
Brief summary
This study aims to assess whether in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring mechanical ventilation, a strategy that combines renal replacement therapy (RRT) and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) allows reduction of tidal volume and plateau pressure. Systemic Inflammatory Response and Safety Variables will also be analysed.
Interventions
Patients with acute kidney injury will be treated with Renal replacement therapy associated to extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal in a single treatment
