What can you tell me about hemodialysis?
In medicine, hemodialysis is a method that is used to achieve the extracorporeal removal of waste products such ascreatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of renal failure. Hemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being renal transplant and peritoneal dialysis). An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.
What does Hemodialysis involve?
involves circulating the patient's blood outside of the body through an extracorporeal circuit (ECC), or dialysis circuit. The ECC is made up of plastic blood tubing, a filter known as a dialyzer (or artificial kidney), and a dialysis machine
When was Extracorporeal Life Support Organization created?
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization was created in 1989.
What is an ECC?
An extracorporeal circuit
When comparing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis it can be said that?
When comparing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, it can be said that
What is ESWL?
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
What replaces kidney function by filtering waste products directly from the patients blood?
Hemodialysis
What are the difference between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis?
hemodialysis takes longer than peritoneal dialysis
How is hemodialysis done?
Hemodialysis is a process where a machine filters waste and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so. Blood is pumped out of the body, circulated through a dialyzer which acts as an artificial kidney, and then returned to the body. The dialyzer filters the blood, removing waste products and excess fluid, which are then discarded.
What is another name for extracorporeal circulation technologist?
perfusionist
Why is hemoperfusion defined as an extracorporeal form of treatment?
Hemoperfusion is sometimes described as an extracorporeal form of treatment because the blood is pumped through a device outside the patient's body.
What is extracorporeal removal of drug?
extracorporeal removal of drug is a system in which undesirable drug and metabolites from the body without disturbing the fluid and electrolytr balance in the patient. answred by saikat
