Recurrent white thrombi formation in hemodialysis tubing: a case report
BACKGROUND While the appearance of red clots in the dialyzer is a common phenomenon in every hemodialysis unit, the occurrence of white thrombi in the tubing is relatively rare. CASE PRESENTATION We describe an adolescent male with recurrent white thrombi formation in the hemodialysis tubing. This patient had chronic renal failure from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, but was no longer nep...
متن کاملWhite thrombus formation in blood tubing lines in a chronic hemodialysis unit.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Previous reports have described white particulate matter in banked blood components, but no prior public reports describe such matter in blood tubing during the course of routine in-center hemodialysis. This report describes the events, investigations, and preliminary conclusions associated with the spontaneous formation of adherent white thrombus in the venous and art...
متن کاملEffectiveness of disinfectants used in hemodialysis against both Candida orthopsilosis and C. parapsilosis sensu stricto biofilms.
Biofilms have been observed in the fluid pathways of hemodialysis machines. The impacts of four biocides used for the disinfection of hemodialysis systems were tested against Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto and Candida orthopsilosis biofilms generated by isolates obtained from a hydraulic circuit that were collected in a hemodialysis unit. Acetic acid was shown to be the most effective agent...
متن کاملTygon" Roller Pump Tubing
A failure analysis was performed on Norton S-65-HL Tygon® tubing. Fatigue testing was performed on four sizes of this tubing, and essentially showed how the tubing wears out. A dynamic "life hours to failure" test, which was performed on the 3/8" internal diameter (ID) size, quantified when the tubing ruptured. Based on results of laboratory testing and the institution's clinical extracorporeal...
متن کاملTubing misconnections: normalization of deviance.
BACKGROUND Accidental connection of an enteral system to an intravenous (IV) system frequently results in the death of the patient. Misconnections are commonly attributed to the presence of universal connectors found in the majority of patient care tubing systems. Universal connectors allow for tubing misconnections between physiologically incompatible systems. METHODS The purpose of this rev...
