Goal: To describe a study comparing methods of setting blood flow rate delivered by a dialysis machine.

Objectives:

  1. Outline problems encountered in determining blood flow rate delivery by dialysis machines.
  2. Describe studies done on determining differences in the methods of setting by blood flow rate.
  3. Summarize the results on the study described to determine the differences in the methods of setting blood flow rate.
