Nursing staff wash hands (surgical washing) before transporting the patient.
Disinfecting the site of the venous and arterial connection in the patient’s hand with betadine.
The nursing staff, in the presence of the doctor, places two Festula catheters in the patient's arm. After ensuring that the catheter is fixed in the patient's arm, the nursing staff connects the patient to the device.
Connecting the closed artery connection to the closed artery needle.
Open the valve after ensuring that there is no air in the connections.
Open the blood pump slowly and give the amount of heparin agreed upon with the treating physician.
Close the intravenous connection valve when blood reaches it and close the blood pump.
Connect the end of the closed-cock intravenous line to the end of the closed intravenous needle.

Ensure that the blood level in the air barrier rises and speed up the blood pump gradually.
Wrap the extensions around the patient's hand securely and secure them.
The nursing staff fills out the follow-up paper information during the session for each patient.
The excess weight, blood pump speed, vital signs, medications and solutions are recorded during the session, and any signs of low blood pressure are noted.

Dealing with low blood pressure during a dialysis session according to the standards of specialized medical centers and the standards of international quality organizations.
The Purpose:
Providing treatment services at a distinguished level according to the standards of specialized medical centers and the standards of international quality organizations to all our clients in order to satisfy them while preserving the environment according to the standards and objectives of environmental protection institutions and followers of occupational health and safety policies and infection control standards.
Procedures:
Stop drawing until we restore balance to the patient.
Position the patient (head down and feet up whenever possible).
0.9% natural salt solution gradually, starting from 100 cm3, and according to the doctor’s order, quickly and not by drip.
Reduce the washing machine temperature to 36.5 degrees Celsius.
Avoid using 2.7 trisalt solution to avoid the patient feeling thirsty and consuming large amounts of fluids that will lead to weight gain.
Reconsider the assessment of the patient's dry weight, and accordingly, the withdrawal rate and withdrawal rate must be adjusted by the specialist physician.
Important Notes:
Reducing the speed of the blood pump does not lead to improving the pressure, but rather reduces the efficiency of washing, and increasing its speed does not cause a drop in pressure.
Be careful in weighing the patient only with the knowledge of the nurses, not the attendants, workers, or the patient himself before and after the session, and write that down on the patient’s sheet.
Prepare an intravenous device and a bottle of 0.9% salt for rapid intervention when the pressure drops and to avoid dismissing the patient from the session.
Patients who suffer from significant weight gain between sessions, it is preferable to use the (Isolated UF) or ISO program, or what is called external traction bypass, according to the doctor’s order.
Ineffectiveness of using dexamethasone ampoules during hypotension.
