Q

what do Higher levels of creatinine indicate?

A

falling glomerular filtration rate and as a result a decreased capability of the kidneys to excrete waste products

A
  1. abnormal fluid levels in the body
  2. deranged acid levels
  3. abnormal levels of potassium, calcium, and phosphate
  4. anemia.
  5. hematuria (blood loss in the urine)
  6. proteinuria (protein loss in the urine)
24
Q

Long-term kidney problems have significant repercussions on other diseases, such as?

A

cardiovascular disease

25
Q

what is used for removed total body water on the principle of hydrostatic pressure gradients

A

Ultrafilters/Hemoconcentrators

26
Q

what is used for utilized to treat renal failure removal of
diffusable solutes based on the principle of a concentration gradient and solute drag established by a dialysate solution

A

Dialysis

27
Q

what is known as The influence exerted by a flow of solvent through a membrane on the simultaneous movement of a solute through the membrane

A

SOLVENT DRAG (CONVECTION)

28
Q

describe the COIL DIALYZER

A

Blood compartment consisted of one or two long membrane tubes placed between support screens and
wound around a plastic core

29
Q

what is the disadvantages of using the coil dialyzer

A

Serious performance limitations, which gradually restricted its use as better designs evolved.
–Coil design did not produce uniform dialysate flow distribution across the membrane

30
Q

described the PARALLEL PLATE DIALYZE

A

Sheets of membrane are mounted on plastic support screens, and then stacked in multiple layers ranging from 2 to 20 or more

31
Q

what is the most effective dialyzer design

A

HOLLOW FIBER DIALYZER

32
Q

describe the HOLLOW FIBER DIALYZER

A

low-volume high efficiency with low resistance to flow. The fiber bundle are potted in polyurethane at each end
of the fiber bundle in the tube sheet, which serves as the membrane support

33
Q

Hemodialysis machines use a ______ where the dialysate _____ through the dialyzer once and is then _____

A

single pass system
circulates
discarded

34
Q

All systems require what 3 same basic components? KNOW

A
  1. dialysate heater to warm dialysate to body temperature (37C)
  2. dialysate pump and flow meter to regulate the rate of dialysate delivery
  3. sensors and alarms to monitor dialysate pressure, temperature, conductivity, and air or blood leaks
35
Q

when you dialyze someone, what are you essentially putting on each side of the membrane?

A
  1. you put their blood (hypertonic–very full of stuff that needs removing) on one side of a membrane
  2. you put some hypotonic solution on the other side
    (that’s the dialysate)
36
Q

what is PERITONEAL DIALYSIS less effective in and more effective in?

A

Less efficient at removal vs. hemodialysis

Effective in very labile cardiac states

37
Q

what form of dialysis is the Treatment of choice in

kidlets and Allows more patient freedom?

A

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

38
Q

what are the 2 ALTERNATIVE HEMODIALYTIC TECHNIQUES that are Convection based?

A

CAVH (continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration)

CVVH (continuous venovenous hemofiltration)

39
Q

what are the 2 ALTERNATIVE HEMODIALYTIC TECHNIQUES that are Diffusive Therapy based?

A

CAVHD (continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis)

CVVHD (continuous venovenous hemodialysis)

40
Q

describe CAVH (continuous arterio-venous hemofiltration)

A
  • -Blood circulates with or without a blood pump through a small hollow-fiber hemofilter
  • -Blood circulates through the hemofilter wherein the plasma and water is filtered and collected in the collection bag
41
Q

for CAVH, where do we cannulate

A

Access-femoral artery and vein

42
Q

for CAVH, where is heparin infused

A

Heparin is infused proximal to the dialyzer.

43
Q

for CAVH, where is replacement volume infused

A

venous return line

44
Q

describe CVVH (continuous veno-venous hemofiltration)

A

–Pump assisted and achieves higher clearance. Because of its effectiveness, it is replacing the pumpless CAVH mode
–Continuous diffusive solute transport is achieved by infusing
a dialysis fluid

45
Q

for CVVH, where do you cannulate

A

Access-double lumen catheter in the femoral, SC, or IJ vein

46
Q

for CVVH, what is the counter-current rate

A

15 ml/min or 1 L/hr.

47
Q

describe CAVHD (continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis)

A

–This technique uses an infusion pump, dialyzer
membrane and dialysate solution.
–An infusion pump pushes a flow of dialysis fluid dialyzer.
The blood/dialysate interfaces on the membrane. CAVHD uses the process of diffusion dialysis to rid the body of fluid, electrolytes, and nitrogenous wastes

48
Q

for CAVHD, where do you cannulate

A

preferred arterial access site is the common femoral artery

49
Q

describe CVVHD (continuous veno-venous hemodialysis)

A

The process of continuous diffusion dialysis in CVVHD is less effective than the CAVHD because the lower pressure venous system does not filter as much blood per unit of time

50
Q

ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA=

A

Surgically created arteriovenous fistulas are
preferred over catheters for patients with chronic renal
failure for ease of access and a lower infection risk

51
Q

what is One of the most common errors of dual lumen catheters

A

placement of the arterial and venous ports on the catheters

52
Q

what are the 2 Citrate (CPD) Citrate advantages

A
  1. citrate has the effect of anticoagulating the CVVH system itself.
  2. Citrate interrupts the clotting cascade by soaking up
    (chelating) free ionized calcium. the citrate is cooked off
    (metabolized) into the form of bicarb
53
Q

what is used with both CVVH and CVVHD

A

heparin
