MUHC patients reap the benefits of sleep with nocturnal home hemodialysis
The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) has begun a program that will allow
patients who require dialysis to undergo the procedure at home while they
sleep. The new therapy, known as nocturnal home hemodialysis takes
approximately 7 hours, five nights per week and results in significant
health and lifestyle benefits.
Because nocturnal home hemodialysis is conducted while patients sleep, it
allows them to lead a normal life during the day. "In less than two weeks
the program has changed my life forever," says Mario Pion, the first
patient to take part in the nocturnal home hemodialysis program at the
MUHC. "My energy level has improved, I sleep better and I have been able to
reduce my medication-it's simply incredible."
"Nocturnal home hemodialysis allows patients to be dialyzed more frequently
and less intensively than in hospital settings," says Dr. Bernard
Unikowsky, Senior Physician at the MUHC and Associate Professor of Medicine
at McGill University. "In addition to significant health improvements, such
as better blood pressure control allowing a reduction in medications,
patients often find their appetite improves. Fewer dietary restrictions
allow patients to enjoy their improved appetite. This leads to better
health and quality of life."
Nocturnal home hemodialysis is not for everyone. Patients interested in
taking part must undergo a 4-6 week training session during which they are
taught to operate the dialysis equipment, to connect and disconnect
themselves properly, and trouble shoot alarms. Patients must also undergo a
home evaluation, to ensure that storage, electrical power supply, and water
quality and drainage requirements are met.
"The comprehensive training course and home evaluation are important safety
measures," says Fe Esguerra, Head Nurse of Dialysis Services at the MUHC.
"Our Dialysis machines are also internet-linked to a monitoring centre,
where trained personnel are on-hand throughout the night to deal with
potential problems." A second patient is scheduled to begin the nocturnal
home hemodialysis program in July. The MUHC hopes to have five patients
enjoying the benefits of nocturnal home hemodialysis by the end of this
year.
The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) is a comprehensive academic
health institution with an international reputation for excellence in
clinical programs, research and teaching. The MUHC is a merger of five
teaching hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at McGill
University--the Montreal Children's, Montreal General, Royal Victoria, and
Montreal Neurological Hospitals, as well as the Montreal Chest Institute.
Building on the tradition of medical leadership of the founding hospitals,
the goal of the MUHC is to provide patient care based on the most advanced
knowledge in the health care field, and to contribute to the development of
new knowledge.
