PBP on a dialysis machine refers to a "pressure vascular prosthesis", also known as a vascular cannula. It is an interventional medical device that is used to connect tubes in the body together to aid in dialysis treatments.PBPs are mainly used to connect arteries and veins for the purpose of blood circulation.
The use of PBP is very common in dialysis treatment. During the operation, the healthcare worker will first puncture the patient's blood vessel and then insert the PBP into the vessel. This vascular cannula not only serves as a connector to the vessel, but also assists in regulating blood flow and pressure. The use of a PBP reduces the pain and trauma associated with multiple punctures and improves the safety and comfort of the treatment.
Although PBP is a common dialysis treatment device, there are still some things to be aware of when using it. Healthcare professionals need to be very careful during operation to ensure that the PBP is inserted in the correct position and that aseptic procedures are strictly adhered to in order to avoid complications such as infection. In addition, PBP needs to be replaced and cleaned regularly during dialysis to maintain its good condition.
