Summary
This study tested a new method to prevent blood clots in dialysis machines for critically ill patients who are at high risk of bleeding. Instead of using the standard blood thinner heparin, the method uses a special calcium-free citrate solution in the dialysis fluid, with calcium given back to the patient separately. The goal was to see if this approach works better than using a special dialysis filter that is coated with heparin. The study involved 97 patients who needed two long dialysis sessions.
