Hello, u don't need to get the TMP in the Dialysis Machine, in-fact the TMP or Trans Membrane Pressure is calculated by the Hemodialysis machine (Volume controlled.

The TMP depends on the time of HD (hemodialysis), the size and the kind of Dialyzer (high or low flux) u are using, the amount of fluid u want to remove and the HTK (hematocrit) or the thickness of the blood u r dialyzing. The machine takes all of that into account and calculates the TMP as well as adjusting it during the treatment.

With old dialysis machines the TMP had to be calculated (pressure controled HD machines) but these machines are rarely used anymore.

Can poor canolation by a doctor lead to low TMP on a machine when dialysing a patient?

Yes, poor cannulation by a doctor can lead to low transmembrane pressure (TMP) on a dialysis machine. If the vascular access is not optimal, it may result in inadequate blood flow or poor filtration, causing changes in TMP readings. Additionally, complications such as clotting or kinking of the access can further compromise the efficiency of dialysis, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes. Proper technique in cannulation is crucial for effective dialysis.


Can tmp be 0 on a dialysis machine when pt is running?

Yes, the temperature (tmp) on a dialysis machine can show 0 when the patient is running, typically indicating a malfunction or error in the temperature sensor. It may also occur if the machine is not properly calibrated or if there is an issue with the water supply. It's essential to address this immediately, as accurate temperature readings are crucial for patient safety during dialysis. Regular maintenance and troubleshooting are necessary to prevent such issues.
