Although dialysis is a complex use of a semipermeable membrane, diffusion,
procedure, it is based on simple ultrafiltration, convection, and osmosis
principles
what are the 3 treatment goals to 1. Remove waste from the blood
achieve in dialysis? 2.remove excess water from the blood
3. balance blood electrolytes
semipermeable membrane thin sheet of natural or synthetic material that
allows some small particles to pass through, while
blocking other, larger ones.

what is dialysate (3 things)? RO water, acid bath, and bicarbonate
what is an extracorporeal circuit? bloodline, saline, and dialyzer=set up
What is diffusion? movement of dissolved particles across a
semipermeable membrane from the side with the
higher concentration to the side with the lower
concentratio n.
What is ultrafiltration? removes water from the blood by pushing it across
the semipermeable membrane
What is convection? or solute drag is when solutes move with the water
across the semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis? is the movement of water across a semipermeable
membrane from the side with the lower solute
concentration to the side with the higher solute
concentration
After a chemical disinfection with check the fluid from the drain hose with residual
bleach, how do you verify that the chlorine test strip
machine is free of residual bleach
before you start setting up?
What is an acceptable test result less than or equal to 0.5ppm
when verifying the absence of
residual bleach?
What is strikethrough? Saline rises in transducer allows for inaccurate
readings. The back of transducer is checked for
wet. If wet can contaminate machine. Pull for bio
