چکیده
Home Dialysis Training Center Division of Artificial Organs University of Utah Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 Introduction Access to the bloodstream has alway been a problem in hemodialysis. The presently preferred method is a surgically created arteriovenous fistula, as described by Brescia and co-workers in 1966. However, the use of the A-V fistula is limited. Frequent venipunctures with large bore cannulae are painful, require skill to insert, and are detrimental to the fistula vessels. A method is described using a single needle instead of two + in order to connect the patient to the artificial kidney.

Single-Needle Hemodialysis on Native Fistulae
Single-needle (SN) dialysis was first described in 1964 by Twiss, who used a time-acti‐ vated mechanism with a pump and a double clamp to alternate blood through a caval catheter [1]. As a result of this publication, the technique of SN-hemodialysis on catheter has been widely disseminated and reported in publications primarily in the context of acute renal failure especially in post-operative ...
متن کاملA simple method to create buttonhole cannulation tracks in a busy hemodialysis unit.
The preference for fistulae as the hemodialysis access of choice has led to a significant number of accesses that are less than ideal for cannulation. Buttonhole cannulation is ideal for such accesses, but the technique for creation provides major challenges. In 12 patients, buttonhole tunnel tracks were created by leaving the polyurethane catheter of a Clampcath hemodialysis needle indwelling ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Comparative Assessment of Mechanical Blood Damage Induced by Different Hemodialysis Treatments
Gradual deterioration of red blood cells (RBCs) due to mechanical stress (chronic hemolysis) is unavoidable during treatments that involve extracorporeal blood circulation, such as hemodialysis (HD). This effect is generally undetectable and does not generate any acute symptoms, but it leads to an increase in plasma free hemoglobin (fHb). There are no absolute safety levels for fHb increase, in...
متن کاملWithin-session and between-session variability of haemodialysis shunt flow measurements.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the variability of a measurement method is essential for its clinical application. We investigated the variability of shunt flow measurements, since this is a relatively neglected area in the literature. In particular, no direct comparison of between-session and within-session variability was available until now. METHODS During two consecutive dialysis sessions, shunt ...
متن کاملDiagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention of Hemodialysis Emergencies.
Given the high comorbidity in patients on hemodialysis and the complexity of the dialysis treatment, it is remarkable how rarely a life-threatening complication occurs during dialysis. The low rate of dialysis emergencies can be attributed to numerous safety features in modern dialysis machines; meticulous treatment and testing of the dialysate solution to prevent exposure to trace elements, to...
