Ileal conduit
Cutaneous reservoir
- Orthotopic neobladder
continent diversion to urethra
no bag, most closely mimics natural pee - Cutaneous reservoir
continent diversion to skin
no external bag, down side is the self cath required - Ileal conduit
incontinent diversion to skin
stoma, external bag, body image,
which type of lithotripsy is this?
- Stones broken down and washed out
- Major advantage = not invasive
external/indirect
what type of urinary diagnostic study?
gives Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) - a measure of how well your kidneys are filtering waste products from your blood, amount of blood filtered per minute by glomeruli.
(The higher/lower the GFR, the worse your kidney function is?)
Creatinine clearance
for GFR, lower = worse
kidney stones - Care
Acute attack
treat symptoms = Pain
- ______ pain - originates from the internal organs kidneys and ureters
- “renal colic” – constant or waxes and wanes
- Can cause __________ compromise – pain is so bad it starts messing with vitals
- what location of pain is typically especially severe pain?
treat with ___ and _____
o Pain
visceral - originates from the internal organs kidneys and ureters
“renal colic” – waxes and wanes
Can cause hemodynamic compromise – pain is so bad it starts messing with vitals (treating pain may be priority so hemodynamic compromise doesn’t occur)
Flank pain is typically especially severe pain
treat with NSAIDS and opioids
pts first time getting hemodialysis and they c/o
o disorientation
o seizures
o H/s
o Agitat
suspect what?
disequilibrium syndrome - esp first few times
kidney stone is < 4 mm =
kidney stone is > 4 mm =
o stone is < 4 mm = may pass spontaneously through urine
o stone is > 4 mm = usually doesn’t pass, may need stent placement (makes urethra opening larger)
o removal of stones
lower UTI Symptoms r/t bladder emptying or storage
o Hesitancy
o Intermittency
o Post void dribbling
o Urinary retention
o Dysuria
bladder emptying
dialysis cycle or complete exchange
___________
- 2 L of dialysate is introduced into abdomen – bag is elevated
- 10 mins
____________
- Diffusion and osmosis taking place via semiperm membrane (peritoneum)
- time varies
_____________
- Emptying out of used dialysate by gravity flow – bag is on ground
- 15 – 30 mins
Phase 2: dwell
Phase 3: drain
phase 1: inflow “fill”
phase 1: inflow “fill”
