Arteriovenous Fistula kwa Dialysis | Dk. Rahul Agarwal | Hospitali za CARE, Jiji la HITEC

In this video Dr. Rahul Agarwal, Consultant Vascular Endovascular Surgeon at Care Hospitals, HITEC City explains about arteriovenous fistula for dialysis. He explains that there are 2 types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. In hemodialysis, blood is taken from the body, filtered through a machine, and returned back. For this process, the patient needs an access point. There are 3 options: arteriovenous fistula (created in the hand or leg), perm cath (a synthetic catheter in the central veins), or HD sheath (in emergencies). Peritoneal dialysis involves a catheter placed in the stomach. An arteriovenous fistula is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein. This allows high blood flow, enlarging the vein for easy puncturing during dialysis. He informs that arteriovenous fistula is the preferred option for long-term hemodialysis and it is of 3 types: radio cephalic or forearm fistula (near the wrist), brachiocephalic or cubital fistula (in the elbow), and a rare option in the lower limbs called superficial femoral vein transposition. #CAREHospitals #TransformingHealthcare #dialysis #kidneydialysis To know more about Dr. Rahul Agarwal, visit https://www.carehospitals.com/doctor/hyderabad/banjara-hills/rahul-agarwal-vascular-surgeonFor consultation call - 040 6720 6588CARE Hospitals Group is a multi-specialty healthcare provider with 16 healthcare facilities serving 8 cities across 6 states in India.
