Frequent monitoring of the “maturity” of the fistulae, along with exercises (such as, tourniquet placement) to develop the fistulae and ligation of run-off veins if necessary should help in the development of
As reported, placement of the catheter into an azygous vein is rare. However, azygous catheter tip placement can be used as an alternative in a patient with co-morbidities, such as severe venous occlusion; this vein is highly responsive to complications [9]. Also, placement in the small ...
The latter development may have to be addressed by providing additional practice opportunities for students as soon as the pandemic situation allows.

1). She then carefully turns the ultrasound probe 90° along the target vein to confirm it is a vascular structure and to visualize its course and branches along the longitudinal axis (Image 2). It looks nice and straight. “This is the spot,” she says and places a tourniquet proximally...
Papaverine-containing heparin, pH-balanced, physiologic solution was used liberally, and dissection was minimized to reduce trauma during mobilization of the vein. Additionally, an upper arm tourniquet was often used for vascular control (after systemic heparinization with 1000-3000 U of intravenous ...
