Severe Clotting During Extracorporeal Dialysis Procedures
The prevention of extracorporeal clotting during hemodialysis maximizes the effectiveness of treatment by maintaining patency in the dialyzer blood compartment and thereby obviating several important consequences. For example, clotting leads directly to blood loss, as much as 200-300 ml for each episode, depending on the total volume of the extracorporeal circuit. In addition, clotting reduces ...
متن کاملPlatelet Disintegration during Clotting
Sequential alterations in the ultrastructure of blood platelets observed during the clotting of human platelet-rich plasma are described, with emphasis on disintegration of the platelet. As the clotting reaction proceeds, aliquots of citrated and recalcified citrated plasma are fixed by adding buffered OsO(4). After recalcification a lag period of about 10 minutes is followed by an interval of ...
متن کاملSevere hypoxemia during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: exploring the limits of extracorporeal respiratory support
OBJECTIVE Veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation for respiratory support has emerged as a rescue alternative for patients with hypoxemia. However, in some patients with more severe lung injury, extracorporeal support fails to restore arterial oxygenation. Based on four clinical vignettes, the aims of this article were to describe the pathophysiology of this concerning problem and to discuss pos...
متن کاملHeparin therapy during extracorporeal circulation: deriving an optimal activated clotting time during cardiopulmonary bypass for isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.
Bull's seminal work on heparin therapy during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was carried out over 30 years ago and has not been updated in the modern era. No correlation with postoperative blood loss was performed. The optimal activated clotting time (ACT) with regard to blood loss has not been established for patients undergoing CPB. A minimum ACT of 400 is based on the lack of visible formation...
متن کاملDialysis Procedures Alter Metabolic Conditions
A progressive chronic kidney disease results in retention of various substances that more or less contribute to dysfunction of various metabolic systems. The accumulated substances are denominated uremic toxins. Although many toxins remain undetected, numerous newly defined toxins participate in the disturbance of food breakdown. In addition, toxic effects may downregulate other pathways, resul...
