Dialysis01:27

Dialysis

302
Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood effectively. It can be classified into two types: acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF).
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Palliative Care
  • Renal Replacement Therapy

Context:

  • Dialysis management for critically ill patients requires tailored approaches.
  • Standard dialysis may not be suitable for patients with comorbidities or poor prognosis.
  • Integrating supportive care is crucial for patients undergoing dialysis.

Purpose:

  • To summarize nephrological recommendations and evidence for palliative dialysis.
  • To propose tools for good clinical practice in palliative dialysis.
  • To provide a framework for managing frail patients on dialysis.

Summary:

  • Palliative dialysis is renal replacement therapy for patients in critical illness and end-of-life stages.
  • It involves targeted dialysis prescriptions, supportive care, and shared decision-making.
  • The goal is to reduce dialysis burden, improve quality of life, and control symptoms.

Impact:

  • Aims to reduce dialysis burden and improve quality of life for frail patients.
  • Seeks to decrease hospitalization rates during the end-of-life stage.
  • Promotes a home-centered care approach and better symptom management.
