Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) =

A treatment for patients with severe chronic kidney disease. The process uses the patient’s peritoneum as a membrane across which fluids and dissolved substances (electrolytes, urea, glucose, albumin and other small molecules) are exchanged

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)=

what do Higher levels of creatinine indicate?

Study These Flashcards

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

name 6 Problems frequently encountered in kidney malfunction

Study These Flashcards

abnormal fluid levels in the body
deranged acid levels
abnormal levels of potassium, calcium, and phosphate
anemia.
hematuria (blood loss in the urine)
proteinuria (protein loss in the urine)

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

Study These Flashcards

cardiovascular disease

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

Ultrafilters/Hemoconcentrators

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

Dialysis

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

SOLVENT DRAG (CONVECTION)

describe the COIL DIALYZER

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

what is the disadvantages of using the coil dialyzer

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

described the PARALLEL PLATE DIALYZE

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

what is the most effective dialyzer design

HOLLOW FIBER DIALYZER

describe the HOLLOW FIBER DIALYZER

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

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

single pass system circulates discarded

All systems require what 3 same basic components? *KNOW*

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

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

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)

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

Less efficient at removal vs. hemodialysis | Effective in very labile cardiac states

what form of dialysis is the Treatment of choice in | kidlets and Allows more patient freedom?

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

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

CAVH (continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration) | CVVH (continuous venovenous hemofiltration)

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

CAVHD (continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis) | CVVHD (continuous venovenous hemodialysis)

describe CAVH (continuous arterio-venous hemofiltration)

- -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

for CAVH, where do we cannulate

Access-femoral artery and vein

for CAVH, where is heparin infused

Heparin is infused proximal to the dialyzer.

for CAVH, where is replacement volume infused

venous return line

describe CVVH (continuous veno-venous hemofiltration)

--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

for CVVH, where do you cannulate

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

for CVVH, what is the counter-current rate

15 ml/min or 1 L/hr.

describe CAVHD (continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis)

--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

for CAVHD, where do you cannulate

preferred arterial access site is the common femoral artery

describe CVVHD (continuous veno-venous hemodialysis)

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

ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA=

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

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

placement of the arterial and venous ports on the catheters

what are the 2 Citrate (CPD) Citrate advantages

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

what is used with both CVVH and CVVHD

heparin
