Abstract
For renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit, either intermittent haemodialysis or continuous haemofiltration can be used depending on the preferences of the local unit. As a further option, slow efficient daily dialysis (SLEDD) combines the advantages of the two modalities. For practical, medical and economical reasons the batch dialysis system offers an ideal opportunity to practice this mode of renal replacement therapy on the intensive care unit. The efficient daily dialysis helps to optimize the general intensive care therapy and thus maybe take part in an improvement of prognosis for intensive care unit patients that cannot be achieved by intensified renal replacement therapy alone.
