Nicklaus Children’s offers dialysis treatment for newborns with acute kidney injury and fluid overload in the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The hospital was the first in Florida to acquire the Carpediem™ Cardio Renal Pediatric Dialysis Emergency Machine to support treatment of patients weighing 2.5 to 10 kilograms.
Created on a miniaturized platform, the device supports provision of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for newborns, delivering treatment with precise control supported by high-precision scales to monitor fluid balance, blood leaks and air bubbles.
