DIALYSIS
In medicine, dialysis (from Greek "dialusis", meaning dissolution, "dia", meaning through, and "lusis", meaning loosening) is primarily used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function (renal replacement therapy) due to renal failure. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly but temporarily, lost their kidney function (acute renal failure) or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney function (stage 5 chronic kidney disease). When healthy, the kidneys maintain the body's internal equilibrium of water and minerals (sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfate) and the kidneys remove from the blood the daily metabolic load of fixed hydrogen ions. The kidneys also function as a part of the endocrine system producing erythropoietin and 1,25dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol). Dialysis is an imperfect treatment to replace kidney function because it does not correct the endocrine functions of the kidney. Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal)
PRINCIPLE OF DIALYSIS
Dialysis works on the principles of the diffusion of solutes and ultrafiltration of fluid across a semi-permeable membrane. Blood flows by one side of a semi-permeable membrane, and a dialysate or fluid flows by the opposite side. Smaller solutes and fluid pass through the membrane. The blood flows in one direction and the dialysate flows in the opposite. The counter-current flow of the blood and dialysate maximizes the concentration gradient of solutes between the blood and dialysate, which helps to remove more urea and creatinine from the blood. The concentrations of solutes (for example potassium, phosphorus, and urea) are undesirably high in the blood, but low or absent in the dialysis solution and constant replacement of the dialysate ensures that the concentration of undesired solutes is kept low on this side of the membrane. The dialysis solution has levels of minerals like potassium and calcium that are similar to their natural concentration in healthy blood. For another 16
PESIT - HOSMAC
solute, bicarbonate, dialysis solution level is set at a slightly higher level than in normal blood, to encourage diffusion ofbicarbonate into the blood, to act as a pH buffer to neutralise the metabolic acidosis that is often present in these patients. The levels of the components of dialysate are typically prescribed by a nephrologist according to the needs of the individual patient.
TYPES OF DIALYSIS
There are two primary types of dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and a third investigational type, intestinal dialysis.
Hemodialysis In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is pumped through the blood compartment of a dialyzer, exposing it to a semipermeable membrane. The cleansed blood is then returned via the circuit back to the body. Ultrafiltration occurs by increasing the hydrostatic pressure across the dialyzer membrane. This usually is done by applying a negative pressure to the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. This pressure gradient causes water and dissolved solutes to move from blood to dialysate, and allows the removal of several litres of excess fluid during a typical 3 to 5 hour treatment. In the US, hemodialysis treatments are typically given in a dialysis center three times per week (due in the US to Medicare reimbursement rules), however, as of 2007 over 2,000 people in the US are dialyzing at home more frequently for various treatment lengths.[2] Studies have demonstrated the clinical benefits of dialyzing 5 to 7 times a week, for 6 to 8 hours. These frequent long treatments are often done at home, while sleeping but home dialysis is a flexible modality and schedules can be changed day to day, week to week. In general, studies have shown that both increased treatment length and frequency are clinically beneficial.
Peritoneal dialysis In peritoneal dialysis, a sterile solution containing minerals and glucose is run through a tube into the peritoneal cavity, the abdominal body cavity around the intestine, where the peritoneal 17
PESIT - HOSMAC
membrane acts as a semipermeable membrane. The dialysate is left there for a period of time to remove waste products and water, and then it is drained out through the tube and discarded. This cycle or "exchange" is normally repeated 4-5 times during the day, (sometimes more often overnight with an automated system). Ultrafiltration occurs via osmosis; the dialysis solution used contains a high concentration of glucose, and the resulting osmotic pressure causes fluid to move from the blood into the dialysate. As a result, more fluid is drained than was instilled. Peritoneal dialysis is less efficient than hemodialysis, but because it is carried out for a longer period of time the net effect in terms of removal of waste products and of salt and water are similar to hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis is carried out at home by the patient and it requires motivation. Although support is helpful, it is not essential. It does free patients from the routine of having to go to a dialysis clinic on a fixed schedule multiple times per week, and it can be done while travelling with a minimum of specialized equipment. Because survival and quality of life are similar with both peritoneal and hemodialysis, the selection of modality by the patient should be dictated by the life style that each therapy offers.
Hemofiltration Hemofiltration is a similar treatment to hemodialysis, but it makes use of a different principle. The blood is pumped through a dialyzer or "hemofilter" as in dialysis, but no dialysate is used. A pressure gradient is applied; as a result, water moves across the very permeable membrane rapidly, "dragging" along with it many dissolved substances, importantly ones with large molecular weights, which are cleared less well by hemodialysis. Salts and water lost from the blood during this process are replaced with a "substitution fluid" that is infused into theextracorporeal circuit during the treatment. Hemodiafiltration is a term used to describe several methods of combining hemodialysis and hemofiltration in one process.

A decrease in blood pressure is the most frequent complication reported during hemodialysis. When fluid is removed during hemodialysis, the osmotic pressure is increased and this prompts refilling from the interstitial space. The interstitial space is then refilled by fluid from the intracellular space. Excessive ultra filtration with inadequate vascular refilling plays a major role in dialysis induced hypotension. The immediate treatment to hypotension is to discontinue dialysis and place the patient in a trendelenburg position. This will increase cardiac filling and may increase the blood pressure promptly.
Cramps
In the majority of hemodialysis patients, cramps occur toward the end of the dialysis procedure after a significant volume of fluid has been removed by ultra filtration. The immediate treatment for cramps is directed at restoring intravascular volume through the use of small boluses of isotonic saline. Prevention of cramps has been attempted with the prophylactic use of quinine sulfate at least 2 hours prior to dialysis.
Check for breathing - Look, Listen and Feel. Check for Carotid Pulse.
Open Airway
Open the patient's airway by head-tilt, chin-lift. Blind finger sweep (open the mouth and remove any major obstructions.) Give patient O2 connected ambu mask keeping head-tilt, chin-lift. 30
1. Place two fingers above sternum then Place the heel of one hand 2-3 inches above the xyphoid process (tip of the sternum). 2. Place your other hand on top of the first and interlace your fingers. 3. Lock your elbows and move your body directly above the patient. This allows you to use the weight of your body, instead of your muscles, to perform compressions. You'll tire less easily. 4. Start the compression by counting 5. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 6. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 10 7. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 15 8. After one set of compression give two breaths. Between each breath count as : 9. One A thousand 10. Two A thousand 11. then give breath using an ambu bag. 12. In any resistance felt assess airway for breathing by Look, Listen and Feel. 13. If no breath continue CPR
Note Compress the chest wall about 1.5-2 inches down (1/3 to 1/2 the total chest depth). One of the biggest problems with CPR is ineffective compressions. Keep this in mind and don't be afraid to actually compress the chest wall-you're trying to pump the heart by squeezing the rib cage. Push hard and fast. Perform 15 compressions to every 2 breaths. After every cycle of this (2 minutes), stop CPR and check for a pulse. If no pulse, continue CPR until help arrives, periodically check for a pulse. If a pulse or resistance is felt, reassess airway and circulation. Then tilt patient to recovery position and connect O2 mask. Continue to check the pulse once a minute to ensure that you don't lose it.

The word pharmacy is derived from its root word pharma which was a term used since the 14001600's. In addition to pharma responsibilities, the pharma offered general medical advice and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist practitioners, such as surgery and midwifery. The pharma (as it was referred to) often operated through a retail shop which, in addition to ingredients for medicines, sold tobacco and patent medicines. The pharmas also used many other herbs not listed.
In its investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients, the work of the pharma may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences of chemistry and pharmacology, prior to the formulation of the scientific method.
The pharmacy is one of the most extensively used therapeutic facilities of the hospital; it is one of the few areas of hospital where large amounts of money are spent of purchases on a recurring basis. It is also one of the highest revenue generating centers. A fairly high percentage of the total expenditure of the hospital goes for pharmacy services. It caters to out patients, inpatients, other areas like OT, Clinical laboratory.

She then gives the prescription to the computer operator for entering the particulars taken, amount taken and issue a bill for the same (annexure 2). In the mean while the pharmacist packs the medicines well and puts it in a hand cover. After the bill is generated the computer operator hands it over to the pharmacist. Once the pharmacist receives the bill she gives it along with the packed medicines to the cashier. As the pass box through the cashiers counter is not too big, large amount of medicines cannot be given to the customer through the box. At such times the pharmacist gives only the bill to the cashier. After payment is done by the customer the pharmacist hands over the medicines. The cashier receives the cash from the customer puts a seal saying cash received and gives a copy to the customer and keeps the copy with himself. In case of payment being done by card, the customer has to inform earlier so that the mode of payment is entered in the bill. In case of card payment the customer will swipe the card and the customer copy of the bill generated is given to him and another copy signed by the customer will be kept by the cashier.
INPATIENT PRESCRIPTIONS
The doctor prescribes the medicines required. The prescription is brought by the patients attenders to the pharmacy. The drugs are dispensed in the same way as for outpatients and its the same principle cash and carry. If the patient is insured then the prescription for the patient is brought to the pharmacy by the nurse in-charge of that ward. There is a provision in the software where once the hospital number of the patient insured is entered, the address and the details of the patient are displayed. The total sales of drugs for the patient are fed in and the bill is given to the nurse to hand it to the patient or the patients attender. 43

As the computers are network connected the accounts department can access the billing details of the patient and include them in their final bill. In case a drug prescribed by a doctor, is not present in the pharmacy the pharmacist gives a substitute only after the confirmation over phone or writes and sends it back with the patient to the doctor who prescribed that medicine. Only after receiving a confirmation by the doctor alternative or substitute drug is dispensed by the pharmacists. There is a strict no to credit sales being followed at Sagar Pharmacy. If in case a patient is critical and the patients attender does not have money a maximum of 2 hours of credit time is given and only emergency life saving drugs are issued. If in case there is no attender with the patient then, only on the request from the doctor to issue an important emergency or life saving drug, the drugs are issued. Only the chief pharmacist or the in-charge pharmacist of that shift has the authority to take decisions in such cases.
SALES RETURNS
The pharmacy takes back unused medicines everything from IV fluids, syringes, ampoules and medicines if full strip dispensed is returned. There is a separate counter for purchase return. There is one person for this purpose at the counter. The return of medicines is taken only between 10.00 am to 6.00 pm from Monday to Saturday only. But it is flexible enough i.e. medicines are taken back even after 6.00 pm and on Sundays in case of the patient is getting discharged or any death case or so. The medicines returned are checked for proper packaging, number and so on. Then the bill number, medicines returned, date is entered. The total amount for the drugs returned is displayed on the computer. A bill is generated and handed to the customer. Cash is returned to the patient immediately at the cash counter. The stock returned is placed in the rack adjacent to the counter. The medicines are placed back into their respective places in the racks later in the day by the pharmacists.
The expired drugs are entered in the system and purchase is returned to the distributor. Expired drugs are stored in a separate rack until the supplier takes it back. For the return taken, the supplier gives either a credit note which will be reduced from the next bill or items worth the same amount will be immediately given.
STOCK CHECKING
Stock checking is done every half yearly. That is once in 6 months. The management decides upon a date for the stock checking and informs the chief pharmacist.
The stock checking is done by all the pharmacy staff except 2 of them who will handle the sales during that period. Stock checking is completed within 24 hrs.
A list of all the drugs in the pharmacy is taken from the software. A print out is taken the particular drug is checked and entry is made against the drug name the quantity present.
The list at the end of the stock check is submitted to the management. As and when sales of medicines occur during the stock checking so much of the quantity is deducted from the list.
BREAKAGE
Breakage if occurs in the pharmacy, the broken number of pieces are informed to the supplier for replacement.

When things are running smoothly around the facility and nothing is broken, the biomedical maintenance flight technicians use the time to perform routine preventative maintenance on all the equipment.
They also provide the medics with training on how to properly use new equipment to prevent user error.
Biomedical equipment models and makes also changes almost every day, It's not realistic to think you can learn everything about every piece of equipment.
The technical school helps prepare the engineers by giving the foundation and framework -the basics. The junior engineers fill in the gaps as they sort of teach themselves by using the literature and skills picked up along the way from co-workers."
Plumbers work on pipes, carpenters work with wood, but we can work on everything in the hospital. We're not limited to one field, when you work on medical equipment, you have to know how to fix everything, and we do because there's no telling what you're going to see.

PHYSICAL STRUCTURE
It is located at the second floor. The area allotted is (7` x 10`) = 70 SFT.
TECHNOLOGY
The department is provided with a helpline and a computer which is part of the hospital network. Within the 70 SFT area provided to the department, there is a small office space, a work station and 2 big sized shelfs, one for documents and the other for tools and equipments.
PROCUREMENT
The department participates in the decision making process of the procurement of Biomedical Equipment (Hospital Assets) in the hospital. It receives copies of purchase orders placed for procurement of biomedical assets. On arrival of the ordered equipment, the opening of the pack is done in presence of a biomedical engineer who inspects the equipment for physical fitness and technical compatibility. Then if the consignment meets the hospital requirements, the items are approved and in-warded. Then the goods receipt number - GRN is prepared and forwarded by the stores to the Accounts department.
The installation and operating of the equipment should be demonstrated to the biomedical 48

engineer as well. Also the biomedical engineer needs to be demonstrated and trained to handle some basic breakdowns. Most important thing is that the engineers should be trained on what should not be done during the course of maintenance. What activities would lead to the lapse of warranty etc.,
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The biomedical engineer has to perform daily routine visit to all departments to take stock of the condition of the biomedical equipments. The visits are registered in a routine visit register. This register contain all the details of any new breakdowns, breakdowns pending repair, equipment wear and tear etc.,
BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE
When there is a breakdown call from any department, the Engineers visit the site and attend to it. There are many aspects to be taken care before opening an equipment for
service/maintenance. The things to be checked before starting the maintenance procedure are as follows: 1. Check whether the power chords and plugs of the equipment are not damaged. 2. The power supply sockets are not damaged 3. The equipment warranty should be checked. If it is still under warranty, the equipment should not be opened and the service ticket has to be raised with the technical support of the vendor. 4. If the equipment is on a major breakdown, and the equipment is high value equipment and has been insured, then appropriate procedures to make the claim should be followed. 5. If equipment broken down can be repaired by the department engineers, only then it has to be opened. 6. If the equipment cannot be maintained by the departmental engineers, the respective vendors should be informed and followed up to ensure the equipments are restored with minimal breakdown time. 7. High Value equipment which are out of warranty period should be periodically checked for the validity of AMC and insurance so that 49

these emergency ambulances that are most likely to display the Star of Life, which represents the six stages of prehospital medical care. Other vehicles used as ambulances include trucks, vans, station wagons, buses, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, boats, and even hospital ships.
The term ambulance comes from the Latin word ambulare, meaning to walk or move about which is a reference to early medical care where patients were moved by lifting or wheeling. The word originally meant a moving hospital which follows an army in its movements. During the American Civil War vehicles for conveying the wounded off the field of battle were called ambulance wagons.[5] Field hospitals were still called ambulances during the Franco-Prussian War[6] of 1870 and in the Serbo-Turkish war of 1876[7] even though the wagons were first referred to as ambulances about 1854 during the Crimean War.
There are other types of ambulance, with the most common being the patient transport ambulance. These vehicles are not usually (although there are exceptions) equipped with lifesupport equipment, and are usually crewed by staff with fewer qualifications than the crew of emergency ambulances. Their purpose is simply to transport patients to, from or between places of treatment. In most countries, these are not equipped with flashing lights or sirens. In some jurisdictions there is a modified form of the ambulance used, that only carries one member of ambulance crew to the scene to provide care, but is not used to transport the patient. In these cases a patient who requires transportation to hospital will require a patientcarrying ambulance to attend in addition to the fast responder. 51
Experience: total 13 years in transport related industry and coordination Reports to: Dr Rajeev Matthew HOD Emergency Department
Generally the entire process is completed in 5 minutes and the ambulance is moved to the location to bring in the patient. In the mean time, the necessary gadgets required for
treatment are kept ready and the treatment starts immediately after the patient has reached the hospital ER.
In case of patient dies mid way, normally all attenders of the patients insist on reaching the hospital if the doctor is not accompanying. However it is not mandated by Law to take to the hospital.
There is a separate vehicle to transport dead body. It is carried free of cost to home. This service is provided only for non MLC cases. Metador 307 is used for this purpose

RECOMMENDATIONS
Dialysis department Primarily the operations in the department is going fine. There are some machines which have worked over 40,000 hrs. These machines should reconditioned or condemned and replaced by new ones and is possible the software updated to latest versions.
Pharmacy department Space constraints were visible in the department. Presently the procurement of stents, implants is being handled by the materials department. It is more suitable if this can be handled by the Pharma department itself.
Biomedical Engineering department the space allocated for this department is very less and going forward more and more biomedical equipment are expected to come into the hospital with the changing technology. So it is recommended that a ESD safe workstation in a clean room area be allocated to the biomedical engineering department. Atleast 250 to 300 SFT of area is required under the present work load with adequate space for storage of equipment and paperwork.
Ambulance Department Presently there has been not a single reported case of breakdown while transporting patients including a puncture. Thus the maintenance of the vehicles is adequate.
