Objective:Selective bronchial intubation is used to isolate and collapse the treated lung. As a rule, intubation is necessary in order to carry out thoracotomies and thoracoscopies.

However, anticoagulants may cause significant bleeding and critically ill patients are at increased risk of it. This article analyses the implementation, efficacy and safety of anticoagulation strategies in renal replacement therapy in the critical care setting and gives a summary of the causes of extracorporeal circuit blood clotting.
