I remember my first time with the thrill and bruit in school and was also like "HOLY S*** ITS GONNA POP WHAT THE HECKIN HECK IS THIS A HUMAN THING" and my preceptor taught me about AV fistulas and thrill and bruit. I havent seen as many fistulas these days since switching to ED, mostly HD ports and PD. So if I have a student or preceptee and a fistula patient who is okay to have students observe, I'm ALWAYS like "yo bring your stethoscope im about to show you the coolest sound youll ever hear on a human person that science and surgery created to save lives"

hi my father is a dialysis patient since 2013 i found out today that his arm/hand with fistula is swollen. what do we need to do? hoping for your response. thank you☺️

@tmm6884 Жыл бұрын

Generally keeping the hand/arm above the head will help. Use a pillow if necessary. If that doesn't reduce the swelling, see his doctor. They can do an Ultrasound-guided compression which compresses the fistula and blocks blood flow to the damaged blood vessels.

Why don’t you ask your doctor??? I had my av fistula surgery on 8/31/21 and it was swollen and a little red I call my surgeons office and he spoke to me over the phone and told me that if it didn’t get better then just go to his office without a appointment! I would highly suggest that you call your doctor and talk to them or make appointment to ask questions about it to them !! God bless you and stay strong you got this kidney warrior 💚💚💚💚💚

Excellent Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Reyameron Linkify Blitzkrieg (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning how to avoid dialysis and boost your kidney health without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend Sam after many years got great success with it.
