The prepump high pressure alarm in dialysis is typically triggered when there is an obstruction or resistance in the blood flow before it enters the dialyzer. Common causes include clots in the bloodlines, kinks or twists in the tubing, or issues with the vascular access site. Additionally, if the venous pressure is too high due to inadequate blood flow or other complications, it can also activate this alarm. Promptly addressing these issues is essential to ensure patient safety and effective dialysis treatment.

What causes high pressure alarm on a ventilator?
High pressure alarm on a ventilator can be caused by factors such as kinked tubing, secretions blocking the airway, patient coughing or biting on the endotracheal tube, or increased resistance in the airway due to bronchospasm. It can also be triggered by the ventilator delivering too much volume or pressure to the patient.
Why after Dialysis blood pressure still high?
Patients with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis have volume overload as their kidneys can't take the fluid (water) off, thus the blood pressure is high. Besides, many changes happen in the body once the kidneys are shut down. For example, calcium and phosphate levels are messed up. They may form complexes and deposit in the wall of the blood vessels making them stiffer, which can contribute to the elevated blood pressure. Also, patients on dialysis have low hemoglobin (have anemia). Sometimes, they receive shots (called epo shots) to stimulate the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. The epo shots can contribute to elevated blood pressure. After all, the patient hasn't reached the point where he/she'd need dialysis unless there's a medical problem that hasn't been controlled - mostly diabetes and hypertension. So the patient already has some problems with blood pressure. That's why many of the dialysis patients are on many blood pressure medications.

What caused the master alarm to go off in Apollo 13?
The master alarm in Apollo 13 was triggered by the high oxygen tank pressure caused by a damaged Teflon insulation on the wires inside the tank. This led to a series of malfunctions and a subsequent explosion in the oxygen tank.

What does a Dialysis Technician do?
The criteria varies from facility to facility and state to state, however most require a High School Diploma and two to three months of on the job training. Contact the Human Resources Department of your local dialysis facility for more information.
What process does dialysis use active transport simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion?
If your talking about a high concentration (outside the dialysis bag) to low concentration (inside the dialysis bag), then it's simple diffusion because it does not requires any energy, and not facilitated in any way
