Course Overview

The Best Practices for Fluid and Electrolyte Regulation in Patients with Hemodialysis course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the advanced knowledge and practical skills required to manage fluid and electrolyte balance in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Fluid and electrolyte regulation is critical in dialysis care to prevent complications such as hypotension, arrhythmias, and fluid overload, which are common risks for patients with kidney failure.

This course covers key concepts in managing fluid status, adjusting dialysis prescription, and monitoring electrolyte levels to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the physiological changes in hemodialysis patients and learn evidence-based strategies for regulating fluid intake, removal, and electrolyte corrections during treatment.

Course Objectives

  • Explain the physiological principles of fluid and electrolyte balance and how they are disrupted in patients with kidney failure.
  • Perform accurate assessments of a patient’s fluid status using clinical indicators such as weight changes, edema, and vital signs.
  • Identify and manage common electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypocalcemia) in dialysis patients, ensuring optimal levels for health and safety.
  • Recognise signs of fluid overload, hypotension, and electrolyte imbalance during dialysis, and implement strategies to prevent or address these issues.
