Mr. hall has Infiltration pre treatment venous needle with no heparin given what do you do

1pull needle 2apply pressure 3place needle above the are of infiltration 4 instruct pt to apply ice6-8 hrs at home

What is dialysate a ph range

6.9-7.6

Which of the following causes a high tmp alarm?

Any RESISTANCE in the circuit

Blood side alarms are

Arterial pressure Venous pressure tmp Blood leak Air detector.

All of the following are symptoms of an air embolism except A confusion B high b/p C Coughing D dyspnea

B High b/p

Blood leak alarm

Blood and dialysate mix Possible pyrogenic reaction Cracked dialyzer Ruptured fibers Blood loss

All of the following are causes of a low venous pressure except A. Calmed venous line B. Kinked lines C. Clotted dialyzer D. Low arterial pressure

Clamped venous line A

High tmp alarms means that there is

Clotting in the dialyzer Too high UFR Too high BFR

Any arterial pressure greater than -240 can cause what

Hemolysis and loss of access

If Ms green comes in with a A fever, drainage and red at the puncturing site this is a sign of

Infection

Air embolism preventions

Maintain armed air detector Observe site Monitor saline bag Verify catheters are clamped when not in use Verify tight connectors and line

Another equation for tmp

Pb-(-pd)

If heparin had been given and ms smiths venous needle is infiltrated what do you do

Secure with tape Apply ice Place 2nd needle above are of infiltration Instruct to apply ice6-8 hrs at home

causes of high venous pressure

Stenosis Clotting in the needle Clotting in the drop chamber Patient activity

It would be onto use arterial needle after an infiltration? True or false

TRUE

What will cause your machine to go into by pass

Temperature Bicarb ran out Conductivity hi or low UF off or minimum

Causes of Low tmp means

There is anything happening in the dialyzer Dialysate bypass Changing goal or time Conductivity out of range UFR off or very low

Never run a patient without arming the air detector TRUE OR FALSE

True

Air in the lines intervention

Turn BFR 50-100ml/min Place hemostat between venous pressure pod and venous end of dialyzer Place 20ml syringe on venous drop chamber Open clamp and pull back to crest -75 mmhg of pressure

1st action if infiltration during mid treatment is

Turn pump off

Pull machine is if fails pht test more than
