Thank you very much, finally I understood the difference between graft and fistula . !!
So does this method means no more press ups? Thanks great video.
Actually when returning the blood after finishing treatment there is a clot that is formed at the very end of saline line where it meets the blood and that clot is pushed to the arterial because it is procedure to do so causing the clot to keep accumulating on the graft every treatment as the clots like grafts. This issue is not appropriately addressed as I always saw the techs doing this and my wife had clothing on the graft and needed to get declotted 2 times in 2 months. After that I started to tell the techs to push the blood to the Venus so that the clot gets stuck in the filters and not my wife's graft. Since then her graft has not had blood clots and it has been 3 years and a half.
Thanks for your input. I currently have a AV Fistula and due for a revision to AV Graft soon... this is good to know.
@Cham-ly9mb make sure when the tech cannulates it is not in same spot but rotationis done correctly. You need to measure the graft that is able to be cannulated so that you can get half for the arterial and the other for venues.
@@Cham-ly9mbwhy’s that?
@@Cham-ly9mbhi why is that.
