Filtration fraction
This tab is dedicated to calculate the filtration fraction. The introduction of PRE and POST volume of dilution, the desired negative balance, the speed of the blood pump and the patient's hematocrit allows calculation of filtration fraction.
When the value is below 24% background appears in green colour, while when it is above this value is shown in red colour, in order to alert the clinician. It is desired to change any of the above parameters in order to improve the filtration fraction.
The recycler bin located in the upper right corner resets all values.
The Back button goes the previous screen, in this case the main menu.
