Abstract
Changes of dialysis efficiency and gas diffusion ability through membrane with degasser using compact dialyser—especially parallel flow type— was studied on 65 times hemodialysis.
With degasser experiments, mean degassing rate of dialysate PO2 was 35% and decreases of ΔPD were remarkable in more compact dialyser (ex. Hemoclear, and T-CP) which had high ΔPD. Dialysate PO2 was unchanged with or without degasser.
UN dialysance increased in 5-10% on each dialyser with degasser.
No remarkable decreases of blood PO2 and PCO2 during hemodialysis with degasser were seen.
Efficiency of dialysis with degasser was discussed and emphasized in this article.
