Abstract

The AN69ST membrane for sepsis patients is covered by insurance and it is expected to be effective. On the other hand, it has become a matter of particular concern that the adsorption of nafamostat mesilate by membranes might shorten the lifetime (lifetime of membranes and blood circuits). A reduced lifetime is associated with several problems such as reduced treatment efficiency, increased workload associated with circuit exchanges, and increased economic burden. In this study, we compared the priming method using nafamostat mesylate in pursuit of the effect of prolonging the lifetime of the AN69ST membrane and the method of anticoagulant addition injection (A/V dispensation method) from the side of blood transmission that has been conventionally carried out. A significant extension of lifetime was therefore recognized using the A/V method.
