STUDIES ON HEMODIALYSIS WITH THE KIIL TYPE ARTIFICIAL KIDNEY--COMPARISON OF THE SERIES AND THE PARALLEL CONNECTION OF DIALYZERS IN SIMULTANEOUS HEMODIALYSIS OF TWO PERSONS WITH THE DIALYSATE SUPPLIER FOR SINGLE PATIENT--

摘要

Comparison was made between the series and the parallel connection of dialyzers in simultaneous hemodialysis of two patients with the dialysate supplier for single patient. 1) In the series connection, the top dialyzer showed the greater dialysis effect than the lower one, but the water deprivation effect was reverse. In the parallel connection, both dialyzers showed the equivalent work and the greater dialysis and water deprivation effect than either of the series dialyzers. 2) In the series connection, the patient of the lower dialyzer often complained chill due to lowering of the dialysate temperature. The parallel connection gave solution to this problem as well as to the psychological problem involved in the series connection. 3) In case of accident in the parallel connection, the dialyzer can be easily separated and the other dialyzer can continue dialysis without being disturbed.
