Physical Examination of Arteriovenous Fistula 

My momma is a dialysis warrior. She's going through haemodialysis from one year now. Came here to collect some informations about av fistula and now I feel like I can give a lecture on it after watching this.😅😅 Jokes apart, very informative one. Thanks a lot. It's a brave initiative. May God bless you.

Excellent video. Thanks for posting. Am currently on hemo-dialysis (1yr). Have had 3 fistula attempts. One included 4 incision sites of left forearm. It ultimately did not develop and was replaced with graft which lasted for approx 3 months and also ultimately clotted. Moved to right forearm huge incision on bottom of forearm from below elbow to above wrist as well as incision 5 inches above wrist on palm side. It failed within 2 weeks and new incision just below elbow crease. It has gone pulsatile and having fistula gram as well as possible balloon to open it back up ASAP. Is it just my body or do all patients have to endure this? Am currently receiving dialysis thru perma cath in left upper chest near neck (4th one of these) as has been the case for most of my treatments. I am starting to have doubts to whether this will ever settle down. Any info would help me along with this. Feeling like a whittling stick at this point.

I think graft is better than fistula? what do u recommend?

hi, as a new medical student, can i ask why is a AVF required for hemodialysis? wouldnt it be possible to access a artery directly(such as the radial artery or the brachial artery) to meet the flow rate requirement of the dialyser? thanks

wow

damn , i hope my arm never looks likes thoses in these pictures ! already had some dumb azz asst . that dont seem to know what they are doing . one blew out my vein , an had to get surgery . ITS those so called nurses at dialysis ctrs that scare me .

This is a barbaric treatment.
