Priming the extracorporeal circuit on a dialysis machine with saline serves to remove air bubbles from the circuit, which can cause complications such as air embolism. It also ensures that the circuit is filled with a fluid that mimics blood, allowing for proper functioning of the dialysis process. Additionally, priming helps to establish a smooth flow of blood during treatment and prevents clot formation within the circuit.
during dialysis the blood is is flowin through a closed system
Toxins and waste are filtered from the kidneys
Yes, acetate buffer can be used for dialysis. It is often used in dialysis procedures to maintain a stable pH level during the process. Acetate buffer is effective in removing waste products and maintaining proper electrolyte balance during dialysis.
It's not exactly an "antidote", but the treatment for hypermagnesemia is calcium salts, IV saline, and possibly diuretics and/or dialysis.
Both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients need to be vigilant about keeping their access sites and catheters clean and infection-free during and between dialysis runs
NO
urea
Toxins and waste are filtered from the kidneys
During dialysis, urea, creatinine, excess electrolytes (such as potassium or sodium), and excess fluid are some of the solutes that typically diffuse from the patient's blood into the dialysis solution.
During dialysis, the kidneys are the organs that do not function effectively. Dialysis is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood, compensating for the kidneys' inability to perform these functions due to conditions like chronic kidney disease. As a result, the dialysis machine takes over the role of filtering the blood.
Mannitol is given to raise blood pressure during hemodialysis
