Dialysis tubing

its functions, but at the disease becomes progressively worse, the more complications will occur and the more the disease becomes, which results in Kidney Failure. Kidney failure affects the body in very negative way. At this stage you will need dialysis or a complete kidney transplant. (WebMD, 2016) Complications include Anemia because the kidneys are not producing the hormone erythropoietin, which makes the red blood cells and this causes the fatigue, ureic syndrome can cause sleepiness, but…

The first application of coiled tubing (CT) occurred during WWII in a project named PLUTO (pipeline under the ocean). It involved the placement of a continuous pipeline on the seafloor across the English Channel. The pipeline was constructed using smaller individual sections of tubing welded together coiled into a large spool of continuous tubing. Though the project had limited success, it set the stage for further exploration into this new technology. Industry professionals pursed the…

Hemodialysis is a form of dialysis where a machine takes your blood and filters it to clean your blood so they can return it back to your body. The dialysis machine acts like an artificial kidney. The way the whole procedure works is the doctor would make an entrance into your blood vessel, done by a minor surgery, that blood would then transfer into the dialysis machine where it would get filtered and then enters back into a vein. The filter…

Ever been to an event where security was enforced? Security guards did their best to make sure no foreign bodies would enter or things that could cause harm to everyone. That’s exactly what a kidney is, a security guard. It protects your body from bad things and removes them before damage is done. The role of the kidneys in the body is for them to filter the blood within the body. The kidneys remove wastes, control the body 's fluid balance, and regulate the balance of electrolytes…

failure is the sudden dysfunction or disease of the kidneys that can significantly impair renal function within the body. According to Huether and McCance (2012), renal failure is characterized by enough of a decline of renal function to require dialysis. Renal failure is after renal risk and injury, but prior to renal loss and end-stage kidney disease (Huether & McCance, 2012, p755). The dysfunctions the lead to acute kidney failure can be caused due to sudden renal injuries or by systemic…

Nurses will administer medication after dialysis to prevent dialysis from clearing the medication before it becomes effective (Moore, 2016). 5. Which renal replacement therapy would be most suitable for this patient? Provide rationale for your selection. After spending two days in the critical care unit…

The 1940’s are most known as the greatest generation, for having discover and developed some of the best inventions of the world, that today most people can't live without it. The 1940’s had it all, things like the color tv and the microwave oven. Peter Goldmark, a staff of RCA Laboratories, started developing modern color tv, after seeing the designs of John Logre Baird in 1928. However, black and white television at that time were sold to the public 10.5 million times compared to the color…

In order to understand depression in dialysis patients, we must know the meaning of the mental illness of depression. “Depression is a syndrome, a cluster of emotional, physical, and behavioral symptoms characterized by sadness, low self-esteem, loss of pleasure, and sometimes, difficulty functioning. If these problems persist for more than two weeks, cause real suffering, and interfere with the business and pleasure of daily life you may have clinical depression” (Pinsky, n.d.). “Depression is…

Acute Kidney Injury Case Study 1. AKI can be prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal. Prerenal is a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys and this leads to a decrease in glomerulus perfusion and filtration. During prerenal, Azotemia occurs and is the accumulation of nitrogenous waste in the blood. This results in a reduction in sodium excretion, increased sodium and water retention, and decreased urine output. Intrarenal has direct damage to the kidney. Nephrotoxins can cause structures to…

preferred nomenclature for the clinical disorder formerly called Acute Renal Failure(ARF).This transition in terminology was meant to emphasize that the spectrum of the disease is much broader than a subset of patients who experience failure and require dialysis support .This nomenclature explains that renal failure occur as a continuum 1. AKIN recently defined AKI as “ functional or structural abnormalities or markers of kidney damage including abnormality in blood, urine or tissue tests or…
