title: Crit Line: instrument to aid fluid removal during hemodialysis.
abstract: Treatment goals were achieved through a combination of approaches. Successful outcomes were due to: (a) active interest of the nursing staff in learning and applying new treatment concepts and technology, (b) cooperation and input from physician staff, and (c) positive response from the patient and a willingness to participate in this effort. This methodology is definitely a tool that needs more widespread usage and documentation of outcomes, not only patient-centered, but staff, physician, and financial usage data as well.
