   NOTICE

    

   _EMERGENCY UPDATE TO STATEWIDE TREATMENT PROTOCOLS, PROTOCOL 2.20  
HOME HEMODIALYSIS EMERGENCY DISCONNECT_

    

   The Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Emergency  
Medical Services (OEMS) is releasing this protocol to provide guidance  
to the EMS provider for emergency management of a patient using a home  
dialysis machine. The most important items to remember are to

    


   *    Stop the machine,
      

   *    Clamp the arterial and venous lines (usually leaving them IN  
the patient’s shunt),
      

   *    Disconnect the machine from the patient, and
      

   *    Leave the machine at the patient’s home.
      

   *    During this process, of course, provide care for the patient’s  
complaint
      

    

    

    


   *    New Protocol 2.20
      

    

    

    

   Please share this with your affiliate hospital medical directors.  
If you have any questions, please contact Patricia Reilly, at
