  Excellent video on examination of A.v.fistula. It must be seen by all dialysis technicians, technologists and Nephrology residents

  Dear Dr. Vachharajani: I was not able to attend your presentation. But I have a very personal interest. My son died last year at two weeks after undergoing surgey to implant an AV fistula for dialysis. Is this a common occurrence? Please advise. Thank you...Cynthia Arnold

  Great presentation. No matter how often I see presentations on this subject, I continue to find them interesting. The animations help much more than slides...

  Thanks for an excellent instructive presentation, I would add 2 additional points: Prior to the creation of any A/V access, one should ensure that there is no contraindication. Patients with significantly reduced cardiac output, may be tipped into a clically low output state by an A/V access, depending on its flow rate. Patients with pulmonary hypertension may have a worsening in their state subsequent the A/V access.
  The second point, in the inspection of the access, one should note the needling sites, to ensure that a rope ladder technique is being used. Patients often encourage the nurses to cannulate in specific areas, and we must discourage this to reduce the likelihood of development of aneurysmal dilatations, which become problemmatic with time.

  As a NON MD I thank you for the invitation to hear this excellent lecture.
  
  I have some comments that a patient can make, but I am afraid they will be out of of place here in this highly professional place.

  This is an excellent teaching tool and should be reviewed by all cannulating hemodialysis nurses as a reminder of the importance of physical examination of the AV access.
