Continuous renal replacement therapy lecture. CVVH - Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration (CVVH) The Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration (CVVH) program is a short-term treatment used in ICU patients with acute or chronic renal failure. Usually, hemodialysis is typically done for patients with kidney failure. However, if the patient has low blood pressure or other contra indicators to hemodialysis, CVVH may be a necessary alternative. If necessary, our nephrologists will assess the patient and order settings for CVVH. The ICU nurse will set up the CVVH unit, while the bedside nurse will run CVVH and troubleshoot problems while taking care of the patient.
