Nursing Care for Hemodialysis Patients

Nursing care for hemodialysis patients mainly includes: 1. Dietary management: Low-salt, low-fat diet with high-quality protein; control intake of potassium and phosphorus; avoid high-potassium and high-phosphorus foods such as nuts and chocolate. Blanching food during cooking is recommended to reduce potassium and phosphorus content. 2. Vascular access care: Keep the access site clean and dry; avoid compressing the arteriovenous fistula; regularly check for patency and prevent infection. 3. Weight and blood pressure monitoring: Weight gain between dialysis sessions should not exceed 5% of dry weight; monitor and record weight daily. Measure blood pressure at least four times daily, take medications on time, and avoid blood pressure fluctuations. 4. Regular dialysis: Strictly follow the dialysis plan prescribed by the physician; do not alter dialysis time or frequency arbitrarily. 5. Complication management: Take medications as prescribed to manage complications such as anemia and renal osteodystrophy. Monitor and manage potential complications during dialysis, including hypotension and dialysis disequilibrium syndrome.
