Scleral Fixated Intraocular Lens (SLED)

Description:

scleral fixated Intraocular lens (SLED) is a form of dialysis that combines features of intermittent hemodialysis and CRRT. It provides a more gradual clearance of toxins and fluid than traditional hemodialysis but is less intensive than CRRT. It is typically used in critically ill patients who require a less aggressive approach than CRRT.

Symptoms:

Moderate fluid overload, Persistent electrolyte imbalances, Need for gradual toxin removal, Patients who may not tolerate traditional, intermittent dialysis due to instability.

Treatment:

Dialysis Setup: Similar to conventional hemodialysis but runs for longer periods (usually 6-12 hours).
Filtration: Blood is filtered through a dialysis membrane, but at a lower flow rate and for a longer duration than in traditional dialysis.
Fluid Removal: Gradual fluid removal to avoid rapid changes in blood volume.
Monitoring: Regular assessment of vital signs, blood chemistry, and dialysis effectiveness during and after treatment.
Frequency: SLED treatments are usually performed daily or every other day, depending on the patient’s needs.
