Solutes & UF
What is diffusion?
What is KT/V of 1.7?
I provide UF and diffusive clearance of small solutes.
What is the short dwell?
I have the least amount of dextrose particles causing the least amount of ultrafiltration.
We are peritonitis prevention techniques! Name 2.
PD training and retraining, Hand Hygiene, Preventing Bowel Source infections, Connectology, Continuous Quality Improvement, Exit Site Care, Antibiotic Prophylaxis, Home Visits, Catheter Replacement
I am the main mechanism for water transport.
What is osmosis?
I recommend high quality prescriptions that should focus on goal directed care.
What is ISPD 2020 Practice Recommendations for prescribing PD goal directed care?
I provide convective clearance of bigger molecules.
What is the long dwell?
I have the same osmolarity as the blood.
What is Extraneal? (Icodextrin)
I do not occur with every PD patient. I LOVE to cluster!
What is peritonitis?
I am dependent on the long dwell and the main mechanism for middle molecule and protein bound solute removal.
What is convection or solute drag?
I say it's important to monitor ultrafiltration volume and achieve euvolemia.
What KDOQI Guidelines for PD Adequacy?
I was made for the long dwell!
What is Icodextrin? (Extraneal)
I can help a patient decrease fluid overload but don't like to be used very often.
What is Dianeal 4.25%?
I provide education, identify high risk patients and monitor PD therapy to keep patients safe and free of peritonitis!
What is the PD NURSE?
I create osmotic pressure to remove fluid.
What is dextrose solution or Dianeal?
Unfortunately, my membrane type is associated with a lower survival on PD.
What is a high transporter?
I need shorter dwells to maximize UF and minimize reabsorption.
What are high and high average transporters?
Maximize me to increase solute diffusion!
What is fill volume?
I am the most effective way to prevent infection.
What is hand hygiene?
I am a bigger molecule that creates oncotic pressure to remove fluid!
What is Icodextrin? (Extraneal)
I am the similar in size to phosphorus and a strong indicator of middle molecule clearance.
What is Creatinine Clearance?
I need longer dwells to enhance solute clearance.
What are low and low average transporters?
I am hyperosmolar.
What is Dianeal (dextrose based) solution?
I am reasons to conduct retraining? Name 2.
What is prolonged hospitalization, peritonitis or catheter infection, change in dexterity or vision, change in supplies or equipment, change in caregiver, or other interruption in PD therapy?
