Blood speed Survey

[obsidianom]

For those on hemo dialysis , whether in center, home , day, or nocturnal,  I would like to know what your blood speed generally runs. Since I posted the article on speed, I realized I dont know what most people run for speeds. I am also interested in where you are , as there were differences in the article I read based on countries. Also if you know what your access and venous pressures are at that speed, please give it. We can all learn from this . Perhaps also give your treatment time with that speed.
1.Speed
2. pressure access
3. pressure venous
4. time of treatment
5. location
6. type of dialysis(in center, home , day, nocturnal, other)(if home give the type machine you use)
Thank you. I think this could benefit us all.

I think this article is new (or maybe I missed it), re: blood pump speeds from Dr Agar or for more international comparisons look for DOPPS data, for instance http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/suppl_1/i226.abstract
