other cadres of the healthcare team had an opportunity to undergo training on various equipment.
- The Fresenius 5008S dialysis machine from Fresenius Medical Care is an advanced dialysis machine.
It offers both haemodialysis and haemodiafiltration. Haemodiafiltration
being the better choice involves osmosis, diffusion, haemofiltration and convection in elimination
of waste products from the blood, resulting in a higher clearance rate. - Cardiac monitors and the central monitor by Schiller will be used in close monitoring of patients.
The central monitor captures data from all the cardiac monitors and allows healthcare providers to monitor
all patients on one screen. - A representative from Roche came to present on the Cobas b 123 Blood Gas Analyser.
