Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses and Dialysis Personnel - Tapa blanda

This practical book provides an introduction to most aspects of dialysis, presentingf an extensive amount of information without overwhelming the reader. Featuring the same question-and-answer format as found in previous editions, the text emphasizes the basics, using an interdisciplinary approach and a simple, straightforward style. It assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of dialysis, patient care or nursing procedures and addresses state and national standards of care and includes the latest referral treatment on professional and educational organizations for dialysis personnel. The fifth edition places physiology and pathology in a single chapter for easier reference for readers interested in renal disease and discusses the latest modalities, including high-efficience and/or high-flux dialysis CAVH, CAVHD and apheresis. It also presents new techniques in anticoagulant and heparin administration and a separate chapter on infectious diseases, including hepatitis and AIDS.
