Abstract

Use of haemofiltration is increasing in general intensive therapy units in the United Kingdom, yet few nursing staff working with this technology are trained in renal nursing. They thus need special support while caring for patients being treated with haemofiltration. This package offers a practical working knowledge-base for clinical use. Normal renal physiology is revised, the principles of haemofiltration are discussed, and some areas of concern are examined. Recommendations for practice are given where appropriate. Specific reference is made to the Hospal BSM 22 blood pump, and the Hemospal AN69s filter.
