Hemodialysis Flashcards
Client is attached (via a surgically created AV fistula or Graft) to a machine that pumps blood along a semi-permeable membrane, dialyzing solution is on the other side of the membrane, and osmosis, diffusion of waste, toxins, and fluid
from the client occurs
Hemodialysis
are the principles in dialysis (3)
Diffusion
Osmosis
Ultrafiltration
Hemodialysis Access: Commonly in the forearm anastomosis artery to vein either side to side or end to end
AV Fistula
Hemodialysis Access: It takes at least 14 days to mature
AV Fistula
Hemodialysis Access: Palpate for ?, Auscultate for ?
Thrills
Bruits
Hemodialysis Access: Can be created by subcutaneously interposing a biologic, semibiologic, or synthetic graft material between an artery and vein
AV Graft
Hemodialysis Access: created when the patient’s vessels are not suitable for fistula
AV Graft
Hemodialysis Access: Creation of a double-lumen large core catheter into the subclavian, internal jugular or femoral vein
Vascular Access Devices
Hemodialysis Access: Creation of a double-lumen large core catheter into the subclavian, internal jugular or femoral vein
Vascular Access Devices
Nursing Management: Protecting vascular access - Evaluate venous access site for ?
Bruit or Thrill
Nursing Management: Protecting vascular access - Absence means ? or ?
Blockage
Clotting
Nursing Management: Taking precautions During IV - The rate of the administration must be as ?
Slow as possible
Nursing Management: Managing discomforts and pain - ? for pruritis
Antihistamine
Nursing Management: Managing discomforts and pain - use (3)
bath oils
superfatted soap
cream of lotion
Nursing Management: Monitoring blood pressure - ? must be withheld before dialysis to avoid hypertension due to the combined effect of the dialysis and the medications
Antihypertensive Agents
