All the procedures necessary for each haemodialysis treatment session for these patients are carried out by the team of nursing staff.
This team is sufficiently large to ensure the permanent presence, during the session, of at least one nurse for every four patients, without prejudice to other paramedical staff.
If the unit organises training sessions for home dialysis or self-dialysis, an additional nurse is present during these sessions.
When the medical dialysis unit provides long sessions, of at least six hours, for all the patients in the session, the presence during the session of at least one nurse for every five patients is sufficient.
