3) ADMISSION IN THE DIALYSIS
DEPARTMENT.
The patient requiring dialysis is recommended by the Physician & sent to the dialysis
Department. The Dialysis staff registers the patient details in the registration book. Their details
Like name, address, age, diagnosis, starting date of dialysis etc., are noted in the admission book
for previously registered patient dialysis setting &total hours of dialysis per patient are checked.
When the patient comes to dialysis unit, the senior nurse /technician gives information
Regarding dialysis. The information like pre-dialysis investigation & also advantage of dialysis
which will be required for the dialysis process are given to the patient as well as their relatives.
Senior nurse/ technician gives idea to the patient that how many times he has to come for
the dialysis in the week. In this way they counsel &give confidence to the patient before doing
dialysis.

Unfractionated heparin or LMWH during dialysis to reduce the risk of clotting of the
Extracorporeal system
a high risk of bleeding. This can be achieved by using a high blood flow rate and regular flushing
of the extracorporeal circuit with saline every 15-30 minutes regional citrate infusion.
We suggest that patient with HIT types 2 should not be prescribed unfractionated low
molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
We suggest that all hemodialysis staff should follow standard operating procedure to
minimize to risk of accidental venous needle/ line disconnection. in patient who are restless of
undergoing hemodialysis at home consideration should be given to use of commercially available
monitoring system.
One must be particularly concerned about bleeding any dialysis patient who has had surgery within
the previous 24 to 48 hours. Who has recently been injured? Who may have hemorrhagic lesion of
the gastrointestinal tract.
At the same time such patient may show an amazing propensity to clot dialyzer circuit. These
frequent clotting time patient should be maintained with short clotting times, either by very tight
heparinization (small dose, frequent clotting time determinations)
1) Iron sucrose may be administered by fusion (into the dialysis line for hemodialysis
patient)
Infusion the solution must be infusing at a rate of 100ml of iron over a period of at least
15 minutes.
2) The recommended range for the starting dose of erythropoietin is 50 to 100 units /kg TIW
for adult patient. the dose of erythropoietin should be reduced as the hematocrit approach
5) Dose adjustment should not be made more frequently than once a month unless.

Fluids – Extra fluid can raise your blood pressure, make your heart work harder, and
increase the stress of dialysis treatment. Remember that many food such as soup, ice-
cream and fruits contain plenty of water. Ask your dietitian for tips on controlling your
thirst.
Potassium – The mineral potassium is found in many foods, especially fruits and
vegetables. Potassium affect how steadily your heart beats, so eating foods with too much
of it can bevery dangerous to your heart. To control potassium levels in potatoes and
dried fruits. You can remove some of the potassium from potatoes and other vegetables
by peeling and soaking them in a large container of water for several hours, then cooking
them in fresh water.
Phosphorus – The mineral phosphorus can weaken your bones and make your skin itch
if you consume too much. Control of phosphorus may be even more important than
calcium itself in preventing bone disease and related complications. Foods like milk and
cheese, dried beans,peas, colas, nuts, and peanut butter are high in phosphorus and should
be avoided. You’ll probably need to take a phosphate binder with your food to control the
phosphorus in your blood between dialysis sessions.
Salt (sodium chloride) –Most canned foods and frozen dinners contain high amount of
sodium. Too much of it makes you thirsty, and when you drink more fluid, your heart has
to work harder to pump the fluid throught your body. Over time this can cause pressure
and congestive heart failure. Try to eat fresh foods that are naturally low in sodium, and
look for product labeled “low sodium”.
Protein –Before you were on dialysis, your doctor may have told you to follow a low –
protein diet to preserve kidney function. But now you have different nutritional priorities.
Most people on dialysis are encouraged to eat as much high– quality protein as they can.
Protein helps you keep muscle and repair tissue, but protein breaks down into urea (blood
urea nitrogen, or BUN) in your body. Some sources of protein, called high-quality proteins,
produce less waste than other. High-quality proteins come from meat, fish, poultry, and eggs.
Getting most of your protein from these sources can reduced the amount of urea in your
blood.
Calories – Calories provide your body with energy. Some people on dialysis need to gain
weight. You may need to find ways to add calories to your diet. Vegetable, oils- like olive,
canola, and safflower oils- are good sources of calories and do not contribute to problems
controlling your cholesterol. Hard candy, sugar, honey, jam, and jelly also provide calories
and energy. If you have diabetes, however, be very careful about eating sweets. A dietitian’s
guidance is especially important for people with diabetes.
Supplements – Vitamins and mineralsmay be missing from your diet because you have to
avoid so many foods. Dialysis also removes some vitamins from your body. Your doctor
mayprescribe a vitamin and mineral supplement designed specifically for people with
kidney failure. Take your prescribed supplement after treatment on the days you have
hemodialysis. Never take vitamins that you can buy off the store shelf, since they may
contain vitamins or minerals that are harmful to you.
19) Vaccination schedule.
2) Check anti-HbsAg tires for those are already given vaccination & repeat yearly.
6) All Blood stains clean with bleach – no blood stain anywhere to be left behind.

Reverse Osmosis
Is be upon the fundamental Pursuit for balance. Two fluid containing different
concentration of dissolved solids that comes in contact with each other will mix until the
concentration is uniform. When these two fluid are separated by a semi permeable membrane
(Whichlets the fluid flow through while dissolved solid stay behind), a fluid containing a lower
concentration will move through the membrane into fluid containing a higher concentration of
dissolved solids. (Bennie e.a 2002) After a while the water level will higher on the side of the
membrane. The difference in height is called the osmotic pressure
By pursuing pressure uon the fluid column, which exceeds osmotic pressure, one will get a
reversed effect. fluids are pressed back through the membrane , while dissolved solids stay behind
in the column using the techniques, a larger part the salt content of the water can be removed.

3) By pursuing pressure the exceeds the osmotic pressure, the water flow will be reversed; water

The 3 & 4 semester training of Hemodialysis Technician was very exiting interesting. The through
training in Hemodialysis section have enhanced my practical knowledge & the technical skill A
part from Theoretical knowledge I gained actual practical experience of handling the patient &
Dialysis Machine individually.
It was really a golden opportunity for me to a work in the well maintain a managed Hem dialysis
Department of B.K.W. Walawalkar Hospital. The department has not only helped me to gain
proper practical knowledge but also in additional have trained me to perfection. Definitely I would
concluding as Hemodialysis Technician will give me Extra Knowledge in the future to serve with
perfection & satisfaction.
