Thank you for the video ! awesome!, but can you do the same with a real patient? for me, it has been a torture and a big frustration... Thank you for everything!

The reason the grafts clot is the clot that develops at the end of the saline line where it goes to the blood. When the treatment ends the clot is pushed into the patients graft . Clots really like grafts and are hard to dissolve and as a patient you should ask the tech or nurse to make sure that clot is pushed to the line where filter will catch the clot and not go into your arm . It is important to watch and remind that the tech or nurse does it every time because it is your life on the line. God bless

Hi Lindsay. I watched all your videos.Very helpful for novice dialysis nurses like me. Can you please make a video on cannulation using ultrasound. That would be great! Appreciate your efforts.

Nice information

Thank you 😊 ❤️

Thank you so, sooo much for this video !!! I wasn’t able to understand why some patients who have Grafts, we cannulated them as normal. With arterial on the bottom and venous on top. But then others , we would cannulate them opposite, with the arterial on top and venous on bottom. Now I understand why! It depends on the placement of the graft. This visual helped so much! Is there any way you can describe the difference between a “thumb pull” method and a “pinky pull” method? Along with why we would need to use these methods ? Thanks so much !

@dialysisnurselindsey Год назад

Thank u! I’m not familiar with this method, but I will ask the travelers I work with and get back to u! Thank u for this comment ♥️

Pls continue making videos it is so helpful for those who are new to dialysis. My mom is a HD patient. What is better, fistula or permanent neck insertion catether? Thanks

@dialysisnurselindsey 2 года назад

Fistula for sure. After having a catheter for 90 days the risk for a serious blood infection goes way up. These infections usually require hospitalizations and are a big deal. Thanks for reaching out! 😃

@KP-dy3gc 2 года назад

@@dialysisnurselindsey thank you for the info, we'll consider your opinion cause that's what my mom wants too. Pls make more videos about dialysis its a big help for us ordinary people without background in the medical field to understand everything about dialysis. Thank you and God bless!!!

This warms my heart ❤️ thank you so much 🙏

@andrealou80 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are excellent ❤️ Btw, can you give me more tips on how to cannulate a graft? Newer grafts give no feelings of a "click" sensation like th old graft😀

@dialysisnurselindsey 2 года назад

You are welcome! 💯 agree with new grafts. I like to use an ultrasound with new grafts, gives me a better visual. Do u have an ultrasound at ur clinic? And assess and watch others cannulating the same graft helps me learn the graft

@dialysisnurselindsey 2 года назад

U are very welcome 😺

@dalebailey754 10 месяцев назад

I got a Bovine graft instead of a fistula because my nephrologist felt I needed to begin treatment asap, and didn’t want to place a catheter in me.

@Islandcandies5963 10 месяцев назад

Hello all, How long does one wait to remove gauze from Cannulation holes over the graft? Can keeping the gauze that puts pressure on the hole stay until the next treatment? How does one prevent clots in a graft after a six hour treatment? Thanks !

@dialysisnurselindsey 6 месяцев назад

Recommend taking the gauze off the next day or sooner, depending on the person. If there is bleeding at home, notify your dialysis team. Keeping follow up appointments for ur graft will help prevent clotting too. Thank u!

@elcagadorerrante2269 Год назад

Thank you!! Now i know why i had to visit so much the acess care and get so much stentz..i have an av graft and they used tourniquets for over 3 years out of my four years on dialisys..Fresenius

@dialysisnurselindsey Год назад

Ur welcome!

@elcagadorerrante2269 Год назад

I made an appointment with the surgeon who placed my av graft and assured me in fact it was an av graft. The people from dialisys place were treating in like a fistula..always a tight tourniquet and two clamp on it. I always would bleed and got 15 stenz in my graft...i think this was gross negligence..can i contact the state and make a complain?

@zineb9861 2 года назад

thank you for your efforts could you explain to me the role of knowledge of (direction of flow)when we canulate an av graft(sorry I'm bad at English)

@dialysisnurselindsey Год назад

This takes practice. If established patient, they will be able to help you too. You are not the only one that struggles with this, it is common. Your coworkers will help you too. I'll work on another video with a fake arm that has a graft to help you with this :)
