-How well dialysis tx is working
What is adequacy? -measured by green post BUN lab
- Kt/V goal is 1.2 or 65%
- time of tx
What affects Kt/V? -frequency of tx
-increasing BFR and DFR increase Kt/V
- 17g=200-250
Needle gauge sizes vs. - 16g = 250-350
BFR - 15g = 350-450
- 14g = 450 and ^
turn off UF
DFR to 300
procedure for post BUN
decrease BFR to 100 ml/pm
lab draw
WAIT 15 SEC.
draw from arterial line port
What causes Kt/V to be if you take it before waiting the full 15 secs
falsely high?
what causes kt/v to be if you wait longer than 15 sec to take it
falsely low?
Consideration for pt with don't want them too dry; better to leave them with a
AKI little extra fluid than to take too much off

CKD = longstanding disease to the kidneys leading
to renal failure
CKD vs AKI AKI = abrupt decrease in renal function; kidney
function can return but not at 100%...can also lead to
CKD
why is it important to so you know how to monitor and treat each pt
know each pt primary specifically
dx?
anything above 100 F or 2 degrees above baseline
what is a fever?
temp
What can cramping low bp (hypotension)
cause?
normal chlorine check < 0.1 ppm
result
what does chlorine in hemolysis
blood cause?
how can you tell that -blood is bright red (cherry kool-aid colored)
hemolysis is occurring? - you would stop tx and NOT return pt blood
what do you do?
What do you do if a pt
starts seizing?
why do we recirc to get rid of any air in lines
machines?
what do you do if a pt left side trendelenburg position
has an air embolism?
What can possibly they can have an allergic rx to dialyzer; may go into
happen if its a pts first anaphylaxis
time receiving dialysis tx?
what do you do if a pt call the nurse
has angina during tx? - they will give fluid, slow BFR, turn off UF
what causes angina dehydration and electrolyte imbalance
during dialysis?
what is disinfectant when there is leftover disinfectant in the machine
infusion? + s/s - s/s is pain at venous needle site at beginning of tx
