			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A &#8211; Hypotension</strong><br />
Is found in 20 to 30% of the sessions.<br />
There are several etiologies: An excessive decrease in the volume, inadequate peripheral vasoconstriction (diabetic patients for example), or cardiac function improperly or failed.<br />
<strong>Clinical:</strong> Sudden fall in blood pressure, feeling sick (hot flashes, discomfort, tachycardia, possibly loss of consciousness). Yawning is often a precursor met.<br />
<strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Reducing the speed of the pump blood ..</li>
<li>Last sloping patient.</li>
<li>Intake of saline (on prescription)</li>
<li>Eventually, put under O2 (depends on service protocols)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Prevention:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Never ultrafilter patients below its base weight.</li>
<li>Weight gain rigorous</li>
<li>Avoid taking anti-hypertensive before the dialysis session</li>
<li>Rate of Na in the dialysis at a concentration equal to or lower than the patient. (Reminder: the Na profile is a prescription)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>B &#8211; angina</strong><br />
Aggravating factors: anemia, decrease in BP, in hyper-debit FAV<br />
<strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Preventing nephrologist</li>
<li>UF minimum</li>
<li>Decreased blood flow</li>
<li>O2 nasal + scope</li>
<li>possibly following protocols, use nitroglycerin sub-lingual.</li>
<li>If the crisis continues, stopping hemodialysis, restitution, perform ECGs, biology (KPC / CPKMB / LDH etc. &#8230;.), transfer in a specialized </li>
</ul>

<p><strong>C &#8211; PAO</strong><br />
<strong>A etiology:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Hypervolemia</li>
<li>Acute heart failure or chronic</li>
<li>Anemia</li>
<li>Uncontrolled hypertension</li>
<li>Drug causes (B-Blockers)</li>
<li>Pump failure causing UF retro-filtration dialysis</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Clinic:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Dyspnea</li>
<li>Cyanosis</li>
<li>Anxiety</li>
<li>Chest pain</li>
<li>Cough more or less expectoration of pink frothy fluid</li>
<li>
Distended jugular consequences of hypervolemia and / or heart failure </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Emergency ultra-filtration (UF isolated, it is possible to mount 2L / H on prescription in this case, it should mount a dialyzes steep)</li>
<li>Oxygen nasal min 3L/min</li>
<li>ECG, scope</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>D &#8211; Muscle cramps:</strong><br />
<strong>Aetiology:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Dehydration extracellular</li>
<li>Dry weight estimated too low</li>
<li>UF excessive</li>
<li>Na, Ca, Mg too low concentration in the dialysis</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Stop ultra-filtration</li>
<li>Prescription, Hypertonic NaCl addition and / or saline</li>
<li>
Rub with ice</li>
</ul>

<strong>Prevention:</strong><br />
On prescription, increased concentration of Na, dialysis or concentration of variable Na</p>
<p><strong>E &#8211; Acute Hemolysis</strong><br />
<strong>Aetiology:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Dialysate hypo / hypertonic</li>
<li>T ° inappropriate</li>
<li>On the CEC, closed for over a quarter of an hour, kinking, pump blood occlusive</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Clinic:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Anxiety, sweating, malaise + + +, brutal</li>
<li>
Back pain sudden and very intense;</li>
<li>Abdominal cramps</li>
<li>Tightness, dyspnea</li>
<li>Presence in the circuit, blood taking an aspect of currant jelly</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Stop UF, NOT TO REPAY</li>
<li>Disconnect</li>
<li>Symptomatic treatment</li>
<li>Sampling of water, dialysate, the patient&#8217;s blood to determine the cause</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>F &#8211; Air embolism</strong><br />
<strong>Aetiology:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Entry of air into the CEC</li>
<li>Disconnection unsecured (withdrawal of air detector)</li>
<li>Debulage, air intake on the venous tubing</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Clinic:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Polypnea</li>
<li>Cyanosis</li>
<li>asphyxia</li>
<li>arrhythmias</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What to do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Immediate cessation of UF</li>
<li>Clamp the arterial and venous lines</li>
<li>Patient sloping + + +</li>
<li>Aspirate if the patient has a central lane (vacuum bubbles located right in the heart)</li>
<li>Oxygen </li>
</ul>
<p>Preventing medical and rescue support for immediate hyperbolic chamber</p>
<p><strong>G &#8211; Coagulation:</strong><br />
<strong>Aetiology:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>No heparinization,</li>
<li>failure of the pump causing an increase in PV and PTM, and a bleeding mass of the entire circuit</li>
<li>Case circuit over 15 minutes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What to do:</strong><br />
Do not return, make a new connection circuit. </p>
