What should be done if a patient is experiencing hemolysis during dialysis?

When a patient experiences hemolysis during dialysis, it is crucial to take immediate action to prevent further complications. The correct choice to address this situation is to clamp the bloodlines and stop the blood pump, which is effectively captured by the selection of both actions.

Clamping the bloodlines immediately helps to prevent further blood from flowing into the dialyzer, which may be contributing to the hemolytic reaction. Stopping the blood pump ensures that no additional damage occurs while allowing healthcare professionals to assess the situation and take appropriate measures.

Reinfusing the patient's blood may be considered later to ensure the patient's volume and hemoglobin levels are restored, but addressing the cause of the hemolysis takes precedence. Therefore, the combination of clamping the lines and stopping the blood pump is the most immediate and effective response to safeguard the patient’s well-being.
