Dialysis therapy is dependent on diffusion and convection through a large amount of water, so during that patient gets exposed to temperature changes of water directly. Malfunction of the heating element in the dialysis machine can result in the production of excessively cool or hot dialysis solution. Use of cool dialysis solution (down to 35°C) […]
32-year-old male, who is k/c/o HTN, DM, CVA, CKD Stage 5D on thrice a week MHD with left BC AVF. He was posted for right carotid endarterectomy. For that, pre-op heparin free dialysis was planned. After dialysis, the next morning the patient’s blood pressure was 70/52 mm of Hg. On evaluation found to have severe […]
Hemodialysis is a method for removing uremic toxins and water directly from the blood into a dialysis fluid through an artificial semipermeable membrane called a dialyzer. The ability of the dialyzer to remove uremic toxins has steadily improved, but the likelihood has also increased that bioactive substances, such as bacterial endotoxin (ET) fragments, can be […]

Case Discussion Related To Transducer Protectors of Dialysis Machine By Dr Jigar Shrimali A transducer is a device in the machine that turns air pressure into an electronic signal. Moisture will harm electronics. A transducer protector is a cap with a filter that goes between blood in the tubing and each transducer to keep it […]
