call back schedule

Published

I am developing a acute HD call back schedule. Would love to hear what criteria others are using. I don't want to have my nirse's called in for a treatement at 3a.m. for someone who was not CV compromised or having a potassium > 6.5.... again I would appreciate hearing what other hospitals and acute programs are utilizing

In the hospitals where I work, Fresenius calls the shots for the most part (there is one hospital that has its own acute unit). Call-backs are for CVVH starts usually in the middle of the night. Rarely do they get called back for HD.

our call back is determined by the md. We do get the cvvhd calls, but we always know who has to be reset up if they clot off before 1000 pom or who can wait to the next day. This can vary from md to md. We have two different services, and they function very differently. Our main problem is doing late treatments because they got a new line and Interventionals always seems to put our pt 's on last. :banghead::banghead:

Our call back is determined by the oncall nephrologist.....they make the final decision whether to dialyze or not. Like the PP most of our call back comes from our interventional radiology or vascular lab....I was stuck last night till midnight for a declot from out of town who hadn't dialyzed in 4 days!
