Hemofeel Ch-1.8W

Hemofeel Ch-1.8W is a hemofilter, a medical device used in extracorporeal blood purification. It removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning adequately. It is indicated in acute kidney injury and in patients with severe renal dysfunction who require assistance in eliminating waste products and maintaining fluid balance.

Patients who cannot tolerate changes in blood volume or blood pressure may not be suitable candidates for Hemofeel Ch-1.8W. This includes individuals with severe hypotension or shock. Patients with bleeding disorders or those at risk of uncontrollable bleeding may not be appropriate for this device due to the anticoagulation required during the procedure. Older patients may have reduced physiological reserves and may experience increased risk of complications with Hemofeel Ch-1.8W. Close monitoring of fluid and electrolyte balance is essential in paediatric patients and elderly patients.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) Sepsis Toxin removal Fluid overload

A Hemofeel Ch-1.8W works within a Hemofeel Ch-1.8W machine to cleanse blood by passing it through a semipermeable membrane. This membrane selectively removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood using diffusion (small molecules passing through) and convection (fluid flow carrying waste). This process purifies the blood, aiding in conditions where the kidneys struggle to filter waste or regulate fluid levels.

The procedure should be done under medical supervision. Consult your doctor for advice.

Hemofeel Ch-1.8W causes some side effects like all medications, although not everyone will experience them. Serious: Hypotension Clotting and bleeding Infections Electrolyte imbalance Common: Hypothermia or Hyperthermia Access Site Issues Muscle Cramps Hemolysis

Continuous monitoring of blood pressure and fluid status is crucial to prevent hypotension or fluid overload during the procedure of using it. Careful management of anticoagulation is essential to prevent clotting within the Hemofeel Ch-1.8W while avoiding excessive bleeding risks. Strict adherence to sterile procedures during catheter insertion and throughout the process helps minimize the risk of infections. Regularly monitor electrolyte levels and adjust replacement solutions as needed to prevent imbalances during fluid removal. Ensuring patient comfort during the procedure and monitoring for any signs of discomfort or adverse reactions is important.
