Ever wonder how someone can survive when their kidneys completely fail? In this episode, Dr. Martin Bennett, Dr. Adam Brenner, and Dr. Scott Eakin dive deep into nephrology - moving from the "plumbing" we covered in our urology episode to the more complex "engineering and chemistry" of how kidneys actually work.
The delegates tackle kidney failure, renal replacement therapies including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, the critical anatomy of AV fistulas and grafts, and kidney transplantation. They emphasize the pathophysiology behind uremia, electrolyte imbalances, and volume overload, while providing practical field guidance for managing these complex patients who rely on modern medical miracles to stay alive.
So sit back and join us for another educational episode designed to provide practical insights for EMS providers throughout Kitsap County, as we explore the fascinating and complex world of nephrology.
