    Endoprosthetic replacement of large joints is frequently followed by great blood loss and evolving postoperative anemia. Three hundred and thirty-seven cases of endoprosthetic hip joint replacement were retrospectively analyzed. The total frequency of allogenic hemotransfusion was 16.9%. The data of the analysis made and the review of literature support that preoperative anemia and revising intervention are the leading risk factors of allogenic hemotransfusion. Allogenic packed red blood cell transfusion is associated with the higher frequency of postoperative complications and longer hospitalization. The routine use of intraoperative autohemotransfusion has shown its low efficiency while drainage blood reinfusion can reduce the need for donor blood preparations. At present there is a great variety of effective agents whose introduction into clinical practice makes it possible to considerably reduce the need for allogenic hemotransfusion during endoprosthetic replacement of large joints and to improve the results of treatment.

    Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

    Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...

    Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management

    The nursing management of a patient undergoing hemodialysis includes several critical steps, starting with a thorough assessment before the procedure.Before the Hemodialysis ProcedureFirst, record the patient's vital signs—blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—to establish a baseline. This baseline is essential for detecting conditions such as hypotension that could impact the patient's response to dialysis. Document the patient's pre-dialysis weight, as this measurement...

    DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...
