How to choose the appropriate cannulation technique for vascular access in hemo...
Sousa, Clemente Neves; Teles, Paulo; Ribeiro, Olga; Sousa, Rui; Lira, Marta Nunes; Delgado, Elisabete; Oliveira, Debora; Campos, Luís; Fernandes, FilipaThe cannulation technique is important for the survival of the arteriovenous access. Choosing the appropriate technique is a complex decision. Such choice must be customized to patients, considering their characteristics, the type of arteriovenous access and the experience of the hemodialysis team. We describe seven items that can help nurses to identify the appropriate cannulation technique: type of arterioven...
Radio‐cephalic fistula recovered with drainage to median basilic vein by straig...
Costa, Luísa Lemos; Matos, António Norton; Almeida, Paulo; Teles, Paulo; Loureiro, Luís; Campos, Luís; Delgado, Elisabete; Oliveira, DeboraThe distal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has less complications and better patency than the proximal fistula, when it works properly. The complications of outflow of the fistula are complex, and it is necessary to analyze all solutions to solve the problem. We introduce a novel approach to solve outflow problems of a radio-cephalic AVF by straightening of the forearm cephalic vein with drainage into the median ba...
