Summary

In a dialysis unit, it is not possible for healthcare personnel to disconnect all patients from the machines simultaneously in the event of an emergency. Therefore, allowing patients who are able to safely disconnect themselves from the machine to do so, while healthcare staff assist those who are unable, will help minimize harm during such situations. For this reason, "clamp and cut/cap" training should be provided to all patients, and a note indicating whether the patient is able to disconnect themselves from the machine in an emergency should be included in their medical records. Importantly, this training should not be limited to theoretical instruction but should also include hands-on practice and simulation-based training to reinforce learning and transform knowledge into practical skills.
