The HD machine is the Delivery system with two-systems. What are they and
what do they do? - ANSWERS-1. Blood delivery system: circulates the patient's
blood
2. Dialysate delivery: Mixes and circulates dialysate
____________ monitors the safe progression of the dialysis tx which is divided
into two categories: _________ related and _________ related. - ANSWERS-
Machine alarms, blood; dialysate
Arterial pressure should never be more negative than - ANSWERS--250
How much saline should be infused through the E-beam dialyzer and the
extracorpeal circuit? - ANSWERS-300mLs
Fresh fill = 50mLs through arterial line
250 mLs through venous line
,Once the arterial and venous blood lines have been connected together in
preparation for circulation, the automatic test sequence has been completed and
the conductivity and pH testing are completed using the phoenix meter, this step
can take place - ANSWERS-The Hanson connectors (dialysate lines) can be
connected to the dialyzer
What position should the dialyzer be in during circulation (venous)? - ANSWERS-
Venous end straight up
After successful completion of machine testing, connect and unclamp ________
and attach the _______. Turn the BFR to and DFR to _____. While the NS is
circulating, ____ the venous end of dialyzer and _____ and ____ the arterial line. -
ANSWERS-transducer, Hanson connectors, 300-400; 500; tap; pinch and release
While priming the dialyzer with saline run the pump at _______ml/min. -
ANSWERS-150
Running the pump hiring then the recommended during initial priming can cause:
________ and _______ - ANSWERS-Gas vapor lock & First Use Syndrome
What should be done after air is removed during circulation? - ANSWERS-Drop
the DFR to 300
, How long can a dialyzer recirculate with saline bf it is considered unsafe to use? -
ANSWERS-After 2 hours, the dialyzer and bloodlines must be recirculated for 5
minutes; set a UF goal @ 170ccs; the system must be taken down after 4 hours
What position should the dialyzer be in during HD (Arterial)? - ANSWERS-Arterial
end up
The use of more than one type of pressure to remove fluid from the blood,
usually positive and negative is called: - ANSWERS-ultrafiltration
What direction does blood flow through the dialyzer as compared to dialysate
flow? - ANSWERS-Blood and dialysate flow in countertercurrent flow; arterial
flows down (arterial to venous); dialysate flows up; the opposite position allows
for better clearance
TMP, Transmembrane pressure is the pressure difference across the dialyzer
membrane. It reflects the ____________ across the membrane used to achieve
the desired fluid loss. - ANSWERS-total pressure
What are some possible causes of increased venous pressure? - ANSWERS-
Infiltration, malpositioned needle, tubing kinks, clamped tubing, system clotting,
patient coughing
How can you tell a dialyzer is clotting? - ANSWERS-Rising TMP, rising venous
pressure, dark blood in dialyzer, air detector alarms
