ABSTRACT

End stage renal disease [ESED] patients in Egypt account for 10380 for the year [1999] and undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Nephrology nurses play a critical role in providing high quality care to dialysis patients, and help renal patients along the read to rehabilitation. However, number of problems are the potentially life threatening that may occur as a result of mechanical or technical failure or nursing, technician or physician error. To minimize the possibility of the occurrence clinical pathway seem to be the answer. This study aims to implement a clinical pathway for dialysis patients. The study was conducted in the new dialysis unit. The unit with a total capacity of 14 beds. The sample comprised 8 nurses and 17 patients. Four instruments were used in this study: knowledge test, skill assessment check list related to dialysis, patients assessment tool and clinical dialysis pathway. There was statistical significance difference in the knowledge between before and after dialysis pathway. There was a negative significant correlation as detected for the areas related to hand washing, cleaning and discarding of waste materials, handling infected patients and blood, psychological aspect, and team management coordination Also, significant statistical difference was found between before and after implementation of clinical pathway regarding nurses performance. It was noted that the incidence of hemodialysis complications were decreased after 3 months of dialysis pathway. It can be recommended that: 1. Clinical pathway should be applied in all aspect in nursing. 2. The interrelatedness of patients care be clearly proven and demonstrated to all health team members, and. The medical directors be the leader of the continuous quality improvement process when the physician participates and is involved with the process, all the members of the renal team tend to perform better

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un estudio descriptivo de 114 pacientes vistos durante 1978 en la Unidad Renal del Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paul. El 78,07% (89) tenia insuficiencia renal cronica , el 19,29% habia iniciado tratamiento el ano del estudio. El 66,67% recibio hemodialisis, el 15.79% recibio dialisis peritoneal y el 17,54% alcanzo a recibir un injerto. 57.89% eran hombres y 71.05% eran menores de 40 anos. La atencion medica fue financiada por el Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paul y en ISS. La primera causa de insuficiencia renal cronica fue una glomerulopatia primaria y de insuficiencia renal aguda fueron los traumas y problemas obstetricos. Del total de pacientes cronicos, 67,42% se incluyo en el programa de transplantes. La complicacion mas frecuente de la hemodialisis fue la hipotension. La mortalidad en pacientes con insuficiencia renal aguda fue de 27,27%. El 54,55% recupero la funcion renal . La mortalidad de los pacientes in insuficiencia renal cronica fue de 21,67% y para pacientes en dialisis que llegaron a transplantes fue del 30%. El costo de la atencion medica fluctuo en un rango entre $325.037,14 y $1.338.760,92 siendo el costo promedio $777.715,68 ...

ABSTRACT

Se presentaron los primeros 7 pacientes que recibieron transplantes renales cadavericos en el Hospital Militar de Bogota. 4 pacientes tuvieron inicialmente una excelente funcion del injerto y pudieron ser rehabilitados satisfactoriamente. En el primer caso se presentaron varias complicaciones urologicas que finalmente fueron resueltas con intervenciones urologicas. 2 pacientes murieron poco despues del transplante, uno por hemorragia del pediculo y otro a causa de una infeccion pulmonar por criptococo. En un paciente la recuperacion funcional del injerto fue muy pobre; probablemente debido a la reproduccion de oxalosis en el rinon transplantado. En 3 casos hubo insuficiencia renal aguda despues de la operacion y en 5 se detectaron episodios de rechazo agudo del transplante. El tratamiento de estas entidades y la utilizacion de tecnica gammagraficas en su diagnostico diferencial se discuten en detalle
