100
Q

EXPLAIN DIALYSIS
In hospital, dialysis center, or home with
special equipment and training

A
  1. Patient’s blood moves from an implanted shunt or catheter catheter in an artery to machine
  2. Exchange of wastes, fluid and electrolytes – Semipermeable membrane between blood and
    dialysis fluid (dialysate)
    3.Blood cells and proteins remain in blood. – After exchange is completed, blood is returned to patient’s vein.
101
Q

Dialysis usually how often

A

Usually required three times a week – Each lasting about 3 to 4 hours

102
Q

Cells in tubule are

A

metabolically active

103
Q

Potential complications Hemodialysis

A

Shunt may become infected.
Blood clots may form. – Blood vessels involved in shunt become sclerosed or damaged. –
Patient has an increased risk of infections with hepatitis B or C or HIV if standard precautions are not followed.

104
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis
• Usually done on outpatient basis
• May be done at night (during sleep) or while patient is ambulatory

A

Peritoneal membrane serves as the semipermeable membrane.
• Catheter with entry and exit points is implanted into the peritoneal cavity.
• Dialyzing fluid is instilled into cavity.
• Dialysate is drained from cavity via gravity
into container.

105
Q

Peritoneal Dialysis

A

Takes more time than hemodialysis
• Requires loose clothing to accommodate bag
of fluid

106
Q

Major complications of peritoneal dialysis

A

Infection resulting in peritonitis
With both types of dialysis
– Prophylactic antibiotics with either form of dialysis
– Any additional problem occurring in patient such
as infection may alter dialysis requirements.
– Caution is required with many drugs because toxiclevel buildup can occur.
