Clinical Mastery Series — one clinical decision per page, with chair-side nursing cards
23 evidence reviews for physicians, advanced practice providers, fellows, and advanced learners who manage patients on in-center hemodialysis. Each page takes one clinical decision — the potassium bath, the target weight, the ultrafiltration rate, a high pre-dialysis blood pressure, the monthly labs — and works through the trials, the guideline positions, and the evidence gaps, with references linked to PubMed. Reviewed September 2026.
Every page ends with an At the chair box that links a printable dialysis nursing reference card. The complete screening and health maintenance white paper remains available as a single long read; Track 4 divides it into decision-sized pages.
Choosing the dialysate: potassium, sodium, calcium, buffer, magnesium, and glucose.
Setting the target weight, keeping the ultrafiltration rate safe, and handling intradialytic hypotension.
Which reading to trust, how to treat, the intradialytic rise, and whether peridialytic BP belongs in a quality measure.
The monthly and yearly work of chronic dialysis: cardiometabolic risk, CKD-MBD, infection and vaccines, cancer screening, adequacy, and anemia.
Protein-energy wasting, inflammation and the PISCES fish-oil trial, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation.
Examining and cannulating the fistula or graft, and caring for the catheter.
Fourteen one-sheet cards for dialysis nurses and technicians. The front says what to do, when to call the nephrologist, and what not to do; the back gives the reasons, with references. Each prints front and back on one sheet, and each has a PDF. The physician’s written order and the unit protocol always govern. Open the card index →
