Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) on acute heart failure (AHF) complicated with respiratory failure after allograft nephrectomy.
Methods MDT discussion was performed on a patient with hemorrhagic shock caused by sudden renal graft hemorrhage, who developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with AHF, acute pulmonary congestion, pulmonary infection and acute respiratory failure 2 weeks after allograft nephrectomy. And treatment plan was formulated and effect evaluation was conducted.
Results Based on the opinions of MDT discussion, the patient was given nasal high-flow oxygen therapy, continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) to reduce cardiac load, anticoagulant, dilating blood vessels, reducing myocardial oxygen consumption, improving myocardial remodeling, lipid regulation, anti-infection, nutritional support, and other comprehensive treatment. The clinical outcome of the patient was good and regular hemodialysis treatment was resumed.
Conclusions Application of MDT pattern helps to formulate a comprehensive and effective individualized treatment plan for patients with AHF and respiratory failure after allograft nephrectomy, which can enhance clinical treatment effects and improve prognosis of patient.
