Deep Heating
Examples of this include hot pack, microwave heated towels, rice, gel packs
Superficial heating
Examples of this include cold packs, ice massage, vapor sprays, bags of frozen peas, ice cubes
Cooling agents
This is the transfer of heat from one object to another - heat goes from higher temperature to lower temperature material. Ex: Hot pack, paraffin bath, cold pack.
Conduction
This is the transfer of heat between a surface and a moving medium or agent. Ex: Fluidotherapy, whirlpool.

Hemodialysis, Peritoneal, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, and Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis
What are the three stage of peritoneal dialysis?
THREE STAGES
1. Dialysate flows into peritoneal cavity
2. Dialysate stays in cavity. Electrolytes are exchanged, pass thorough blood by osmosis (lesser ï‚® higher concentration)
3. Drain dialysate out of cavity
In this type of dialysis, pt's blood is shunted from the body through an artificial dialyzer for diffusion and ultra filtration, then returned to the pt's circulation. It is the most common (87%)
Hemodialysis
In this type of dialysis, The site is the upper arm, forearm (proximal or distal), wrist (radial artery and cephalic vein or ulnar artery & basilic vein), leg/thigh (posterior tibial artery & saphenous vein)
Hemodialysis

* Peritoneal Dialysis uses the peritonial cavity in the abdomen
This type of dialysis uses the peritonial cavity in the abdomen to filter the blood via a vast network of capillaries
Peritoneal dialysis
In this type of dialysis, osmosis, diffusion, & infiltration allow the electrolytes to pass to the blood stream via the vascular peritoneum to the blood vessels of the abdominal cavity
Peritoneal dialysis
This type of dialysis is peritoneal dialysis in which the dialysis solution is exchanged 4 times per day, 7 days a week
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)
In this type of dialysis, the exchanges are spaced throughout the day (AM, noon, late afternoon, and before bedtime)
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)
An advantage to this type of dialysis is that the patient can be ambulatory.
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)
In this type of dialysis, the procedure is similar to the peritoneal dialysis except the abdominal cavity is infused only 4 or 5 times per day
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)
In this type of dialysis, it is peritoneal dialysis in which a cycler machine does the exchange every night for 10-12 hours
Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD)
A disadvantage of this type of dialysis is that the pt cannot be mobile
Continuous Cyclic Pertioneal Dialysis (CCPD)
This is caused by distal hypotension (decreased circulation). Pt has cold, painful fingers.
