Thank you for the feedback. I guess I was under the wrong impression that the extra fluid could lead to serious complications for the patient. In defense of the patient I was concerned and felt it would be best to give the blood during dialysis.
Is it normal practice for a hemodialysis patient w/ 1500 ml fluid restriction to receive orders to have a blood transfussion (2units) in between dialysis sessions. The patient receives dialysis 3 days per week, T,TH,Sat. The order is to receive blood on Friday. It doesn't appear to be the safest method but would appreciate any thoughts or input......
