20. Dialysis Concerns Hypotension Hypertension Dyspnoea Chest pain Fever –Peritonitis –Access related infection Diabetes management Bleeding Electrolyte disturbances –Potassium –Magnesium –phosphate

21. Type of dialysis Haemodialysis Hypotension Electrolytes Fluid imbalance Where/when to dialyse next PD Fluid balance Residual function Nutrition Peritonitis Equipment required

22. Critical illness in dialysis patients Co-morbidity %: General PopESRD CAD1240 LVH2075 CHF 540

23. Acute v Chronic RF Outcomes in Critical Care are not the same Consider ITU for single organ failures (+ESRF) Consider overall QoL Patient choice.

24. Management Fluid restrict Careful pharmacology NSAIDS, ACEI’s okay Limit blood tests (pre-dialysis most useful) Transfuse during dialysis Don’t MEWS for urine output! Consult nephrology for dialysis
