DIALYSIS:
1.The pump and the timer are started.hemodialysis is underway.
2.Periodically(every half hour,nominally)blood pressure is taken,as a practical matter,fluid is also removed during dialysis.Most dialysis patients are on moderate to severe fluid restrictive diet,since kidney failure usually includes an inability to properly regulate fluid levels in the body.A session of hemodialysis may typically remove 2-5 kilograms of fluid from the patient.The amount of fluid is removed is set by the dialysis nurse according to the patients "estimated dry weight"This is a weight that the care staff believes represents what the patient should weigh without fluid built up because of kidney failure .Removing this much fluid can cause low blood pressure .
Monitoring is intented to detect before it becomes severe.Low blood pressure can cause cramping,nausea,shakes,dizziness,lightheadedness ,and unconsciousness .
3.During dialysis,occasionally,patients have low blood pressure and lose consciousness.Often this is temporary and passes after the head is placed down for a short time.
