Reading about the technical aspects of dialysis. Things that caught my attention
1) Circuit - arterial line - pressure montior- predialysis pressure monitor - kidney - post dialysis pressure monitor - venous side
2) recirculation - happens thru cardiopulmonary circ + at the fistula
3) Temperature fall across the circuit of 1 c can lead to the equivalent of 20% of BMR
4) conductivity/volumetric methods of mixing dialysate
5)batch processing vs. continous flow dialysate
6)effect of reynolds number- type of flow and shear stress
viscosities and flow calculations
Introduction to concept of dialysance.
conductivity for dialysate and how each ion can affect it. donan equilibrium
all these concepts are ringing in the ear all necessitating further reading, ideally fluid dynamics/calculus
