Which SEI code is associated with Hemodialysis?

• A. SEI 999
• B. SEI 453
• C. SEI 486
• D. SEI 031

Answer: (C)

SEI codes categorize the type of medical treatment a patient is receiving during aeromedical transport. Hemodialysis is identified by the specific code for renal replacement therapy, which is 486. This designation signals to the crew that the patient requires dialysis support, shaping considerations for equipment, fluids, anticoagulation, and monitoring during flight. The other codes represent different procedures or statuses and would not indicate dialysis.
