What is a crit line in dialysis?
The Crit-Line IV monitor is a medical device that allows your healthcare team to assess how well your body is responding to the fluid removal rate during dialysis. It is like looking through a magnifying glass into your bloodstream while you are dialyzing.
How does a Fresenius dialysis machine work?
The core of the dialyzer is made up of thousands of tiny mesh tubes. Your blood flows inside each tube, and the dialysate stays on the outside of the tubes. Tiny pores in the tubes let waste and excess fluids pass from your blood into the dialysate.
What is crit line monitoring?
The Crit-Line In-Line Monitor (In-Line Diagnostics Corporation, Riverdale, UT) is used to measure a patient’s hematocrit level and oxygen saturation during hemodialysis. The Crit-Line In-Line Monitor has been used in hemodialysis patients and other fluid-overloaded patients.
What does a crit measure?
Abstract. The Crit-Line™ monitor measures relative changes in intravascular blood volume during hemodialysis. The device is also used to monitor hematocrit and oxygen saturation.
Which steps should be taken by the dialysis technician if the patient is experiencing hemolysis?
If hemolysis is suspected, the bloodlines should be clamped immediately, the blood pump stopped, and the patient’s symptoms treated. The dialysate should be sampled for pH and conductivity.
What is a good crit value?
Our recommended ratio of CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG is 1:2, with CRIT DMG being double of the CRIT Rate. For example, if your CRIT Rate is 60%, your CRIT DMG should be at least 120%. Try to aim for at least 50% CRIT Rate when building characters, so everyone has a decent chance to deal CRIT hits!
What is crit damage for?
In many role-playing games and video games, a critical hit (or crit) is a chance that a successful attack will deal more damage than a normal blow.
What happens if too much fluid is removed during dialysis?
If too much fluid is removed and a person goes below their dry weight, a patient may experience dehydration causing: Thirst. Dry mouth. Lightheadedness that goes away when laying down.
How do you check for blood leaks on a dialysis machine?
- Stop blood pump.
- Return dialysate lines to machine ports.
- Press blood leak button. If flashing, press until light goes off. If constant, press (3 sec) until line clamps are released.
- Macroscopic blood leak. Discard blood with dialyser and bloodlines. Microscopic blood leak. Return blood to patient. Culture dialysate.
What is the critical rate?
Critical Rate (CRIT Rate) is the probability that a strike will be a Critical Hit.
How do you calculate crit damage?
- Critical Rate refers to “the probability of your attack to deal a critical hit”
- The formula for Critical Damage (Crit DMG for short) is: Outgoing Damage x (1 + Crit DMG%)
- An ideal ratio for Critical Rate : Critical Damage is 1:2. For example, it’s better to aim for 50% CR and 100% CDMG.
What happened to the Fresenius Crit-line III monitor?

What is the Crit-line blood chamber?
The Crit-Line blood chamber is a sterile, single-use, disposable, optical cuvette designed for use with the Crit-Line IV monitor’s sensor clip during acute and chronic hemodialysis therapy to non-invasively measure hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen saturation.
