Q

Review: how does the kidney relate to regulating BP?

A
  • Hypovolemia/Na+ depletion triggers release of
    Renin (enzyme) which converts angiotensin to
    A-I (ACE) which converts to A-II in the lungs.
    A-II causes adrenal cortex to secrete
    Aldosterone (secrete K+ & absorb Na+ & H20—
    water balance)

A

Movement of fluid from an area of lesser to area of

greater concentration of solutes

36
Q

A

Diffusive transport across semipermable membrane
(based on countercurrent flow of blood and
dialysate) removal of impurities

37
Q

what is ultrafiltration?

A
  • water and fluid removal (↓ BP ↑ HR)

- results when there is an osmotic gradient across the membrane

38
Q

what are the goals of dialysis?

A

• fluid removal
• osmosis and diffusion across semipermeable membrane
- solute clearance
- diffusive transport (based on countercurrent flow of blood and dialysate)
- conventive transport (solvent drage with ultrafiltration)

39
Q

what are the nursing assessment/priorities for a pt with CKD?

A
  • complete assessment (heart and lung sounds)
  • condition of access
  • temperature
  • skin condition (itchy, edema)
  • weight
  • BP
  • edema
  • labs (renal panel, lytes, CBC)
  • CXR
40
Q

what is a arteriovenous fistula?

A
  • Preferred form of dialysis access

- Typically end-to-side vein-to-artery anastamosis

41
Q

what are the different types of arteriovenous fistulas?

A
  • Radiocephalic (first choice)
  • Brachiocephalic (second choice)
  • Brachiobasilic (third choice, requires superficialization of
    basilic vein, i.e. transposition)
  • lower extremity fistulae are rare
42
Q

what are the assessments for arteriovenous fistulas?

A

• Look - site, condition, s/s infection
• Feel - look for the Thrill…Pulse is bad
• Listen - bruit, low pitched…high short is
bad

43
Q

what is a arteriovenous graft?

A

• Synthetic conduit, usually polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, aka Gortex), between an artery and a vein
- Either straight or looped

44
Q

what are the common sites for AV grafts?

A
  • Straight forearm : Radial artery to cephalic vein
  • Looped forearm : brachial artery to cephalic vein
  • Straight upper arm : brachial artery to axillary vein
  • Looped upper arm : axillary artery to axillary vein
45
Q

what are tunneled cuffed catheters?

A
  • dual lumen catheters
  • most commonly placed in the internal jugular vein, exiting at the upper, anterior chest
    • can also be placed in the femoral vein
  • subclavian catheters should be avoided given the risk of subclavian stenosis (rise in infection)
46
Q

what is peritoneal dialysis?

A
  • peritoneal access is obtain by inserting a catheter through the anterior wall
  • technique for catheter placement varies
  • usually done via surgery
47
Q

what are the three phases of peritoneal dialysis?

A
  • called an exchange*
  • inflow (fill)
  • dwell (equilibration)
  • drain
48
Q

what does “inflow” phase consist of?

A
  • Prescribed amount of solution infused through
    established catheter over about 10 minutes
  • After solution infused, inflow clamp closed to
    prevent air from entering tubing
49
Q

what does the “dwell” phase consist of?

A
  • Diffusion and osmosis occur between patient’s
    blood and peritoneal cavity
  • Duration of time varies depending on method
50
Q

what does the “drain” phase consist of?

A
  • 15 - 30 minutes

- may be facilitated by gently massaging abdomen or changing position

51
Q

TEST: what is the nursing management of peritoneal dialysis specific patient?

Q

what is the nursing management and assessment of a dialysis pt post tx?

A

weight

55

A
  • thrombosis
  • infection (10% for AVG, 5% for AVF, 2%)
  • aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms (3% of AVF, 5% of AVG)
  • HF (avoid AVFs in pt with severely depressed LVEF)
  • local bleeding
  • peritoneal dialysis (peritonitis/sepsis, cath clogged or dislodged)
57
Q

what is the pt education for someone on dialysis?

A
  • understanding of regular scheduled tx
  • acceptance of chronic disease
  • risk for infections (sxs of infection)
  • edema (daily weight)
  • dietary restrictions
58
Q

what is the family education for someone on dialysis?

A
  • same as pt
  • understand their role
  • risk for infection
  • med routine
  • maintain healthy lifestyle
59
Q

T/F it is important to be in collaboration with the dialysis nurse

A

TRUE

60
Q

what are the things we should communicate to the dialysis nurse?

A
  • clinical situation (hold meds?)
  • meds (BP, ATB, diuretic, pain meds)
  • lab results (K, Cl, BUN, Cr, H/H)
  • assessment (access device)
  • plan of care (ongoing assessment, medicate prn, pt comfort (bedrest), nutrition (hold food d/t N+V), psychosocia support, family education)
