We were concerned that, with the reversal of the ports of these catheters, our patients were not receiving the dialysis prescription ordered for them due to decreased efficiency of their treatment. Twenty-five of 108 patients in the program were included in a study related to the percentage of access recirculation when ports were reversed or not reversed. Of those 25 patients, approximately 42% had their ports reversed. The study took place over a two-week period and involved approximately six dialysis sessions per patient. Results indicated that the percentage recirculation increased from 2.3%-4.1% when ports were connected normally, to 12% when ports were reversed. As a result, a policy is now in place whereby our patients' treatment time is increased 20 minutes for reversed ports. In summary, recirculation rate increased with reversal of ports in temporary indwelling catheters. Extension of prescribed treatment times when ports are reversed will maintain the efficiency of dialysis.</p>","PeriodicalId":77241,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal CANNT = CANNT journal : the journal of the Canadian Association of Nephrology Nurses and Technicians","volume":"4 2","pages":"11-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18993825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the ever-changing field of nephrology, most skills practised in nursing are considered to be sanctioned medical acts or added nursing skills. Therefore, annual recertification of the skills designated as sanctioned medical acts is an expectation of the College of Nurses of Ontario. The Wellesley Hospital policy indicates one time only or annual approval of the added nursing skills. The article will discuss the use of games as a creative, non-threatening educational tool in the recertification/re-approval process currently in place at The Wellesley Hospital, renal programs. In the past two years, several games or alternative teaching strategies have been utilized to assist the staff in preparing for recertification. This paper will examine the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing alternative teaching formats.
