Acute Kidney Injury VI: Nursing Management

533
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results in an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Effective nursing management is critical in improving patient outcomes and includes comprehensive patient assessment and targeted interventions.Comprehensive Patient AssessmentA detailed history collection is essential, focusing on any recent infections, nephrotoxic medication use, or chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that may contribute to AKI. During the physical...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care​.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Parenteral Drug Delivery Systems: Injectables, Implants, and Infusion Devices

38
Parenteral drug delivery systems play a crucial role in modern therapeutics by enabling the direct administration of drugs into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. These systems are particularly valuable for poorly absorbed oral medications that are unstable in the digestive environment or require rapid onset or sustained therapeutic levels. Delivery is achieved through intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes, each selected based on the drug's properties...

Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management

1.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Adult Health
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Hypodermoclysis involves subcutaneous administration of drugs and fluids.
  • This technique has proven efficacy and benefits for adult patients.
  • Despite its advantages, hypodermoclysis remains underutilized in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on nursing knowledge and practices regarding subcutaneous drug and fluid administration in adults.
  • To identify gaps in understanding and application of hypodermoclysis among healthcare professionals.

Main Methods:

  • An integrative literature review was conducted.
  • Keywords included "nursing," "hypodermoclysis," "drug administration routes," "adult health," and "knowledge."
  • Searches were performed in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with no publication date restrictions.

Main Results:

  • Eight articles were included in the final review out of 569 initially found.
  • The majority of studies were published in international journals (75%) and were over five years old (62.5%).
  • Methodologically, literature reviews (25%), quantitative studies (62.5%), cross-sectional studies (50%), and non-experimental studies (50%) predominated.

Conclusions:

  • Hypodermoclysis is an established technique with demonstrated efficacy.
  • The limited use of hypodermoclysis is inconsistent with its advantages and broad applicability across all age groups.
  • Further investigation into nursing knowledge and practices is warranted to promote wider adoption of this beneficial administration route.
