Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management

1.7K
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...

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

2.1K
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,...

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

4.0K
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

19.1K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Peritoneal Dialysis III: Nursing Management

1.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Safety
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Nephrology Nursing

Background:

  • Aggression on haemodialysis units is an under-researched international concern.
  • Patient and relative aggression threatens staff and patient safety during dialysis sessions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence and nature of aggression in haemodialysis settings.
  • To identify contributing factors to aggressive behavior among patients and relatives.

Main Methods:

  • A 12-month cross-sectional study using the Staff Observation Aggression Scale (SOAS) for incident recording.
  • Semi-structured qualitative interviews with 29 multidisciplinary staff members were conducted.

Main Results:

  • 74 aggressive incidents were documented over 12 months, predominantly verbal aggression.
  • Two patients with mental health issues accounted for 38% of incidents.
  • Aggression showed distinct temporal patterns related to day and time.

Conclusions:

  • Verbal aggression is the most common form of aggression on haemodialysis units.
  • Observed temporal patterns are unique to the haemodialysis environment.
  • Findings underscore the need for tailored safety strategies in this setting.
