10-minute Rounds: Understanding Convective Clearance

[@rachelhilton685]

OMG, my Nurse educator didn't even teach five percent of what you taught in eight minutes. Thank you so much! Got it!!

[@allie714]

Please continue doing these videos. It's so much help for us renal staff.

Thank you very much, i had trouble with understanding the basic of hemofiltration, now it makes sense

[@delilahbartolome3871]

Excellent illustration of convection application for Hemodialysis. Thanks

[@sheenarosebuaquina1789]

thank you :)

thank you very mutch

Why is this called convection? It is essentially the second half of Starling's law and relies on a hydrostatic pressure gradient, not a temperature gradient. Starling's Law

[@Nephromancer3]

I think its because its the movement of the fluid involved. in traditional convection heat causes the molecules to that become excited and travel to an area of less energy (in case of boiling water, from bottom to top) where it loses it dissipates its energy, whilst sending cooler, less activate molecules down. in the case of HD, i think bc heat and pressure have a congruent relationship (lussacs law), then the increased pressure should increase temperature and cause the molecules to be activated and they go to an area (through the fenestrations) where there is less of them, similarly to the boiling water example. in the case of HD, your blood high in toxins like potassium, would have energy transferred to the potassium molecule (through pressure ~ heat) and that molecules moves and diffuses through the slit to an area where there is less of the charged particle. NOW..i could be wrong. but thats how i understand it

it's hard to hear your swallowing

I heard him swallow just fine
