Question

Can a dialyzing machine will work in absence of heparin pump? Why or why not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

That amount of heparin is drawn up into a syringe then placed on the machine into the “heparin pump.” The heparin pump is programmed to release the right amount of heparin into your blood tubing during your treatment. The heparin prevents your blood from clotting.

Answer 2

Answer:A pump in the hemodialysis machine slowly draws out your blood, then sends it through another machine called a dialyzer. This works like a kidney and filters out extra salt, waste, and fluid. Your cleaned blood is sent back into your body through the second needle in your arm.
