Abstract:
Experiencing Dialysis: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study of Nurses and Patients in Dialysis Satellite Units Dialysis satellite units (DSU) have been a method of treatment delivery in the UK since the 1980s. Units were developed to expand dialysis provision and serve a number of patients from specific geographical areas. There is a dearth of research related to satellite unit dialysis. Most research related to haemodialysis usually incorporates satellite unit patients in their findings. Available research is related to measurable parameters of medical treatment.

Abstract:
Individuals with end-stage kidney disease have the treatment options of receiving conservative care, dialysis or a kidney transplant. There are two main types of dialysis – haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. For a peritoneal dialysis (PD) program to be successful, close attention must be paid to preventing PD-related infections. A common and serious complication of PD is peritonitis. Peritonitis is a contributing cause of death in about 16% of PD patients and is a major cause of PD technique failure, which results in patients having to switch to long-term haemodialysis.

Worldwide, approximately 11% of patients on dialysis receive peritoneal dialysis (PD). Whilst PD may offer more autonomy to patients compared with hemodialysis, patient and caregiver burnout, technique failure, and peritonitis remain major challenges to the success of PD.

Abstract:
Healthy kidneys are able to filter toxins from one's blood and remove excess fluid from one's body. Kidney dialysis is a process that performs the work of kidneys that cannot function normally. During the process of hemodialysis, blood from the patient's body is run through a dialysis cartridge through very thin hollow fibers made of a semi- permeable membrane. Waste and water travel from the blood, through the pores of the membrane, and into a fluid called dialysate. We attempt to model the velocities and pressures of blood plasma and dialysate in a dialysis cartridge, as well as to model the
