Generally, hypothermia is defined as a core temperature less than 35C 95F. This creates a suitable concentration gradient for unwanted molecules to pass into the dialysate, while excess water is forced across the membrane based on the amount of pressure is applied by the dialysis circuit. The setup involves a semipermeable membrane that can allow water and some water-soluble molecules to pass.īlood will flow on one side of the membrane, under pressure, while the dialysate contains glucose and some electrolytes generally flows on the other side in the opposite direction. There are many different variations of RRTbut the main principles behind it can be quite simple. If the kidneys are not working well, reduce the dose.
This is where vancomycin can get tricky, because you are aiming for a target trough between dose serum concentrations. The most common use for vancomycin is in invasive Gram positive infections. Most interestingly is John Strutherswhose namesake structures compress the median nerve as a ligament and the ulnar nerve as an arcade.
There are of course, slight anatomic variations, but this is a good starting point. This diagram attempts to clarify the branches of the radialmedianand ulnar nerves and where they can get squished along the way. Even worse is trying to remember where all of those pesky compression points are and why it is that you get some symptoms with some and not others. The branches of the three main terminal branches of the brachial plexus can be difficult to remember.
