Q

Arteriovenous (AV) fistula is made by ?

31
Q

why get a arteriovenous fistula

A

to make a vein that is strong and large enough for routine dialysis

develop _____ because the material cannot _____ after needle punctures

A

self-heal

35

  2. While fluid dwells in the peritoneal cavity, extra fluid
    and wastes are drawn out of the blood and into the
    dialysis fluid.
  3. Drain: After ~4-6 hours the dialysis fluid is drained-called and replaced by fresh fluid.
