| Oh Hemo Dialysis |
So as an ICU nurse I have learned many skills. One of my new skills as of Monday is Hemo Dialysis. Here is kind of a picture of what it might look like. Except the picture makes it look easy and im in the critical care setting. So nothing is ever easy there. 
So pretty much what happens is the blood comes from the patient into the machine and the machine works as a kidney and filters the blood and returns clean blood back to the patient. It also removes fluid, since the patient usually doesn’t pee. Fluid has to be removed. Generally around 3 L per run. Depending on the patient and how much fluid has to be removed.
What do I think of it. Well So far so good. I will write when I have to hook up a patient to the machine and take care of the machine and the patient at the same time. That will be another blog. |
