  • Title: Blood pump speed vs. actual or "compensated" blood flow rate.
    Author: Williams HF, Jensen K, Gillum D, Nabut J.
    Journal: Nephrol Nurs J; 2007; 34(5):491-9, 525. PubMed ID: 18041451.
    Abstract:
    Actual blood flow rate delivered by a dialysis machine is often less than what is prescribed The Gambro Phoenix machine calculates the actual blood flow rate, reporting it as "compensated" blood flow rate. This study compared two methods of setting the prescribed rate, using Kt/V to determine the effectiveness of each. Results verified that patients achieve a higher Kt/V when the prescribed blood flow rate is set as the compensated blood flow rate.
