Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

998
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,...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route01:18

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

1.9K
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral01:18

Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral

6.7K
Medications can be administered through the enteral route using liquids, capsules, or tablets.
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Nutrition Support

Background:

  • Enteral access is crucial for nutritional support in patients with impaired oral intake but a functional gastrointestinal tract.
  • Feeding tubes are necessary to administer nutrition enterally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the different types of enteral access.
  • To discuss the complications associated with enteral feeding tubes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on enteral access methods.
  • Categorization of feeding tube placement techniques (bedside vs. percutaneous).

Main Results:

  • Enteral feeding tubes can be placed via orifices or percutaneously into the stomach or small intestine.
  • Placement can occur at the bedside (by nurses or physicians) or in specialized areas by gastroenterologists, surgeons, or radiologists.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding various enteral access methods is key for effective nutritional management.
  • Awareness of potential complications is vital for patient safety and optimal outcomes.
