I, at one time, had a very high HR. It went as high as 140’s when I stood for final pressures. I kept asking my neph and staff about it, but no one had a good answer. One RN said that it was normal for some patients, but I didn’t buy it. Then I moved and went to a new unit. There the machine peramiters were different. I have never had a high HR again. So, I know the machine settings is one reason for high HR.
I have never had a neph who is hands on with the machine. I find that rather scary as I would think it is necessary for the neph to know how the machine peramiters affect my body. And I have had no nursing staff whose education goes far enough that they comprehend how to individualize a tx. Individualizing the tx is not even their goal. But I have had nephs and staff who are totally willing to adjust the tx peramiters if I provide the reasoning to do so. In my opinion, more ed. is sorely needed in this respect. The dialysis tx is a fine balance and must be individualized to each patient’s needs.
