Hemodialysis

Objectives Aims On the completion of the seminar students gain the knowledge regarding hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis and will utilize this knowledge with a positive attitude. Specific Objectives The group will able to; * Define dialysis * Describe the history of dialysis * Explain the principles of dialysis * Enumerate the indication of dialysis * Explain details about hemodialysis * Describe details about peritoneal dialysis * List down the Psychosocial Issues

Unit 6 Project Outline The Subset Population: ESRD patients on hemodialysis with depression In the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) report for 2015 there were 661,648 cases of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) at the end of 2013, of which 117,162 cases were newly reported. Of the newly reported cases, 88.2% of individuals with ESRD started renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis (HD) while 9% began peritoneal dialysis (PD), and 2.6% received a kidney transplant. The most common psychological

failure. Further, it has only been since 1973 when Medicare legislation was amended to include patients with chronic renal failure; and the expansion of hospital dialysis services in addition to the emergence of private outpatient hemodialysis clinics, that hemodialysis has become available for the vast majority with end stage renal failure.

Ms. Conlon applies the nursing process to systems or processes at the unit/team/work group level to improve care. Deirdre has been the primary nurse for 6 hemodialysis patients. She has involved patients and families in monthly interdisciplinary meetings to promote self-efficacy and quality of life. With the help of the interdisciplinary team Deirdre has worked collaboratively to address and reinforce nutritional needs, social/family issues, barriers to care, and safety concerns. All of her primary

the End Stage Renal Disease population that receive hemodialysis at the VAMC. End Stage Renal Disease is a slow progressive loss of kidney function resulting from structural damage to the kidneys leaving the body unable to excrete metabolites. As the disease process reaches that point the patient must choose hemodialysis or some other form of renal replacement therapy (Medical News Today, 2014). I am a Nurse Manager in the hemodialysis unit. The unit has eleven stations with a patient population

body (NLM, 2014). A total of 661,648 cases of ESRD was reported in 2013, of which 117,162 were new cases (United States Renal Data System, 2015). 88.2% of individuals of the newly reported cases with ESRD started renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis, 9% chose peritoneal dialysis, and 2.6% received a kidney transplant. Dialysis is recommended to remove excessive salt, water, and waste products from the body, when kidney function reaches 15% (NLM, 2014). Additionally, dialysis helps control

the importance of their placement. To properly investigate central venous catheter (CVC) care; documentation will focus on Heparin flushes as it relates to renal care. The renal dialysis patient undergoes CVC placement as a basis of receiving hemodialysis treatments. It is essentially the first access point placed in preparation of a more permanent access point. Central venous catheters, fistulas, and grafts are considered the lifeline of a dialysis patient. Their function and patency is of the

HEMODIALYSIS EXPENDITURE: HD (Hemodialysis) machines typically cost $18,000 to $30,000. The cost of dialyzers for HD ranges from $1,000 to $5,000 per year. Dialysis will continue to grow at 7% per year. For hemodialysis, both total and PPPY fee for service spending were nearly flat between 2012 and 2013 explained in graph 1.
