Abstract

Background: In previous work, we demonstrated that using the B. Braun hemodialysis (HD) machine for home HD typically delivers higher single treatment Kt/V (spKt/V), weekly standard Kt/V, and urea reduction ratio (URR) compared to the NxStage home HD machine.

Methods: We reviewed the technical requirements and home modifications necessary to implement the B. Braun HD machine for home HD based on our 5 years of experience with 40 patients.

Results: Successful home use of the B. Braun machine at home required a larger dedicated space, installation of a dedicated reverse osmosis water treatment system, specialized plumbing and electrical connections, and tailored machine-specific patient training.

Conclusions: Despite these home requirements, most of our patients found these modifications manageable and the machine easy and intuitive to operate. Our experience supports the B. Braun machine as another practical option for home HD, including nocturnal HD treatments.

使用B. Braun机器提供家庭血液透析：技术方面。

背景：在之前的工作中，我们证明了与NxStage家用HD机器相比，使用B. Braun血液透析（HD）机器治疗家庭HD通常提供更高的单次治疗Kt/V (spKt/V)，每周标准Kt/V和尿素还原比（URR）。方法：根据我们5年40例患者的经验，我们回顾了B. Braun HD机器用于家庭HD的技术要求和家庭改造。结果：在家庭中成功使用B. Braun机器需要更大的专用空间，安装专用的反渗透水处理系统，专门的管道和电气连接，以及针对机器的量身定制的患者培训。结论：尽管有这些家庭要求，我们的大多数患者发现这些修改是可控的，机器操作简单直观。我们的经验支持B. Braun机器作为家庭高清的另一个实用选择，包括夜间高清治疗。
