A team with strong cohesion and high execution is an important guarantee for conducting high-quality and sustainable clinical researches. Combined with the previous literature and the author’s view, this paper summarizes the key points of team building, which include a clear research direction, a balanced composition of team members, an outstanding team leader, the competence enhancement of team members, and a member-oriented management philosophy. Clear research direction is the premise of the existence and development of a team. Multi-level, multi-disciplinary membership can avoid potential conflicts of interest caused by homogeneity, and enable research to be refined and strengthened in interdisciplinary collisions. Team leader is the key to team development. The enhancement of team members’ competence is the cornerstone of team development. Adherence to member-oriented principle can form a true team culture. This paper aims to summarize and analyze the key points of clinical research team construction for peer reference.
Blood purification is not only an effective treatment for patients with acute and chronic renal failure, but also plays an important role in the rescue of various critically ill patients. The current blood purification devices is relatively bulky and not suitable for use in daily life and disaster rescue sites. Portable blood purification devices can be divided into portable artificial kidney, wearable artificial kidney, implantable artificial kidneys and mobile continuous renal replacement therapy machine, which have not yet been widely applied in clinical practice. In recent years, with the advancement of materials science and computer science, efficient regeneration of dialysate and intelligent operation of equipment have become possible, and portable blood purification devices is also expected to experience rapid development. This article briefly reviews the development history and future research directions of portable blood purification devices.
