Abstract

Acute blood purification is performed in the intensive care unit and several different staff members are involved in the associated patient care. A team approach to health care is mandatory due to the wide range of specialists necessary for optimal care. The field of acute blood purification is no exception. We believe that problems occur because of a shortage of the necessary specialists, insufficient communication of information, and a lack of adequate cooperation. For optimal patient care, it is necessary to address these problems. Most importantly, a team approach in the management of acute blood purification must include all team members involved in patient care and all must be active participants.
