  1. Ultrafiltration Control using Hematocrit Monitoring 2013 ANNA North Carolina Statewide Symposium and the Southeastern Kidney Council NC Annual Meeting “Unique Challenges for the Nephrology Professional” Kimberly F. Clarkson, MSN, RN, CNN May 22, 2013

  2. Objectives • Describe blood volume monitoring • Identify trend and graph development during hemodialysis • Evaluate nursing assessment considerations to decrease intradialytic mortality

  3. Relative Blood Volume Monitoring • Measures hematocrit in arterial blood • Crit-Line® Technology • Optical transmission detecting blood volume changes • Blood volume change – surrogate marker for vascular refilling • Increase in hematocrit relative to decrease in fluid removal • Interface display of changes • Affords a “window” into intravascular space Davenport, 2009

  4. Prevention through Optical Technology • Components • Blood chamber, sensor clip, monitor • Non-invasive monitoring • Blood volume change percent • Hematocrit • Graphic display • Based on Guyton curve

  5. Guyton’s Curve • Dr. Guyton (September 8, 1919 -April 3, 2003) • Physiologist; primarily circulatory system • Cardiac output related to peripheral circulation • Demonstrated oxygen demand regulated cardiac output • Overturned previous conventional wisdom • Heart itself does not control output • Developed graphic representation • Fundamental base in medical school • Guyton Curve Hall, 2003

  6. Fluid Volume Distribution • Volume distribution; 70 kilogram male example • Intracellular • Approximately 23 L • Extracellular • Approximately 17 L • Intravascular • Approximately 5 L; cannot accommodate > 7 L

  8. Optical Data Transformed – Graphic Image The Crit-Line®monitor provides objective data and visual display of: • Relative Plasma Volume slope as an indicator of volume status • Degree of Relative Blood Volume Slope • Remember Guyton Curve • Intradialytic plasma refill ability or inability • In comparison to ultrafiltration • Intradialytic plasma refill with minimal ultrafiltration

  9. 35 33 Hct 31 29 RCV 27 X 100 Hct = 0 BV -5 %BV (Loss) -10 -15 -20 0 1 2 3 4 The Inverse Relationship

  10. Profile A • Ultrafiltration and plasma refill • Equal, or positive slope or slope less than -3% • Special considerations may apply Hypertension, 2010

  11. Note: UF Removed Note: BV∆%

  12. -8.6% ÷ 3.3 hour = -2.6% per hour = Profile A

  13. Profile B • Ultrafiltration rate exceeds plasma refill rate • Studies range from -1.33% per hour to -8% per hour • Not to exceed -16% at end of 3 to 4 hour treatment Agarwal, 2010

  14. -12.8% ÷ 3 hours = - 4.3%/hour = Profile B

  15. Profile C • Patient “crash” • Patient experiences symptom • Blood volume change • Exceeds -8% per hour, or • Exceeds -16% at end of 3 to 4 hour dialysis session Rodriguez et. al,2005 Brewer & Goldstein, 2004

  16. -20.9 ÷ 2 = -10.4 = Profile C

  17. Prevent Treatment Complications E – Electrolytes V – Volume removed–ultrafiltration A – Anemia/albumin/allergies L – Lying back, feet on floor – position U – Urinary output A – Anti-hypertensives or other meds T – Temperature I – Ideal dry weight O – Oxygenation of tissues N – Nurse responsibility

  18. Summary • Hematocrit monitoring affords a proactive approach to • Achieve ideal dry weight • Prevent intradialytic complications • Prevent hospitalizations • Affords validation of nursing interventions • Real time measurement • Data provision – graphical representation • Individualized patient
