Reflective Medical Practice
Reflective Medical Practice
What does it mean?
• It is the process of learning
through and from experience
towards gaining new insights
of self and/or practice.

• It also tends to involve the
individual practitioner in being
self-aware
and
critically
evaluating their own responses
to practice situations.

Boyd and Fales, 1983

‘Reflection-IN-action’
(thinking while doing)

(after-the-event thinking)

Where the competent
practitioner uses
knowledge, experience and
judgment to guide decisions
in real life clinical situations as
they are happening.

Schon (1990)

‘Reflection-ON-action’

Which happens after the
experience, enables learning
about clinical practice and
promotes development of
such practice.

You will need the following for practice
reflection:

to write notes, non answerable
enquiries and thoughts

A framework
to help the learner adopt the
discipline of reflection

Allocate a supervisor for the learner
to reflect with “provide a sounding
board”

Seniors & Reflective Medical Practice
28 y old female with lupus nephritis that is controlled long time
ago (on steroids, azathioprine after completing euro lupus regimen with
cyclophosphamide).

She got pregnant, her aPL Abs were positive, we started low dose
aspirin and LMW heparin prophylaxis.
The treating PROF increased her maintenance steroid therapy to
20 mg from 5 mg.
The junior asked him WHY?,
The PROF said in 2ry APS (2ry to SLE) therapy needs more with
immunosuppression rather than just anticoagulation.
Seniors & Reflective Medical Practice
• The junior searched the pubmed and found a very
good review telling that the basic treatment will be
LDA + LMWH or unfractionated heparin
• As it's her first pregnancy there is no need to increase
her steroid level as long as there is no complications
yet, also steroids are associated with preterm
delivery, HTN, gestational diabetes.
• He returned back to the PROF with the info, then he
decreased her steroid level again.

Clinical Issue/Event/Incident
• 27 years old married female on hemodialysis since 2 years from
well functioning AVF, 3 times per day, 4 hrs each session.
• She is not DM, HTN. She has no immunological disorder (SLE). The
cause of kidney disease is unknown.
• She is on ESA therapy adjusted to her body weight. Her TSAT is 35%
and S.Ferritin is 550. Hb level is 9.5 g/dl, although she is on ideal
ESA dose according her body weight.
• She is complaining of continues sense of fatigue, nausea and
vomiting.

What is your reflection IN action?
• You raised her ESA dose by 25% and after one month
her Hb level is 10g/dl, and there was no
improvement in her symptoms.

What is next?
• You raised her ESA dose again by 25% (total 50%) and
after one month her Hb level is 10.2g/dl, and there
was no improvement in her symptoms.

What is next?
All causes of resistant anemia are
excluded
•
•
•
•

•

Her anemia is normocytic normochromic.
Her platelets and WBC are normal.
No evidence of hemolysis.
S.Vit B12, folate levels are normal.
No evidence of infection.
Her PTH level & trend are accepted.
Her thyroid function is normal.
ESR is not too high.
She is not malnourished.

So which test you will use to
confirm her pregnancy?
Beta HCG
So which test you will use to
confirm her pregnancy?
Beta HCG

As CKD patients have different hormonal
physiology than normal population
So, You decided to search the literature?
What is your Reflection On Action?
• Did you diagnose the case late?
• Did you use the appropriate test for diagnosis?

• What is your future plan when you face a CKD
female of child bearing age?
• Any other Reflection?
Conclusions & What you learned
• Although the incidence of pregnancy in child bearing females on HD is
low, you have to put it in mind all the time.
• Diagnosis of pregnancy in CKD patients needs a high degree of suspicion.
• Because beta HCG is removed by the kidney, beta HCG levels are higher at
each stage of gestation than in women with normal renal function So
pregnancy diagnosis must be by US.
• Always discuss with your child bearing aged HD females the risk of
pregnancy and advice her about contraception.
• Pregnant CKD patient (whether on HD or not) is a special category of
patients and need special care and follow up.
