Download or read book Patient Safety in Dialysis Access written by M.K. Widmer and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only are dialysis access creation and maintenance prone to complications, but patients suffering from end-stage renal disease and its comorbidities generally have a high risk of adverse events during their continuous treatment. Preventive strategies are key to avoid harm and to improve the outcome of the treatment of the growing number of patients with chronic kidney failure, especially as doctors and nurses are not always aware of the consequences of unsafe behavior. This publication is intended for health care professionals – nurses as well as doctors – and aims to raise the awareness of patient safety aspects, combining medical education with evidence-based medicine. After a general overview of the topic, an international panel of authors provides a diversified insight into important concepts and technical tricks essential to create and maintain a functional dialysis access.

Book Synopsis Vessel Health and Preservation: The Right Approach for Vascular Access by : Nancy L. Moureau
Download or read book Vessel Health and Preservation: The Right Approach for Vascular Access written by Nancy L. Moureau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open access book offers updated and revised information on vessel health and preservation (VHP), a model concept first published in poster form in 2008 and in JVA in 2012, which has received a great deal of attention, especially in the US, UK and Australia. The book presents a model and a new way of thinking applied to vascular access and administration of intravenous treatment, and shows how establishing and maintaining a route of access to the bloodstream is essential for patients in acute care today. Until now, little thought has been given to an intentional process to guide selection, insertion and management of vascular access devices (VADs) and by default actions are based on crisis management when a quickly selected VAD fails. The book details how VHP establishes a framework or pathway model for each step of the patient experience, intentionally guiding, improving and eliminating risk when possible. The evidence points to the fact that reducing fragmentation, establishing a pathway, and teaching the process to all stakeholders reduces complications with intravenous therapy, improves efficiency and diminishes cost. As such this book appeals to bedside nurses, physicians and other health professionals.

Download or read book Dialysis Access written by Jacob A. Akoh and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, particularly in the western world. Although renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for ESRD, the decline in the number of cadaveric organs, coupled with the rising demand for transplantation, means that an increasing number of patients will have to depend on dialysis. Vascular or peritoneal access is the Achilles'' heel of any dialysis service. This book offers a clear description of the state of the art in providing and preserving a durable and reliable access. It also points the way to dialysis in the 21st century. The contributing authors are drawn from a wide background, with expertise in various aspects of dialysis access, including its history, the technique of placement, anaesthesia, radiology, nursing care and training of vascular access surgeons. There is currently a dearth of books on the subject of dialysis access. The few existing books on vascular access were written in the United States, with none from the UK. This volume is intended for use by transplant surgeons, general surgeons with an interest in vascular access, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, trainees and nurses. Dialysis services are expanding worldwide and this book is an invaluable guide for those involved in daily patient care and organisation of dialysis services. Contents: Dialysis Access: Past, Present and Future (J A Akoh); Modality Selection and Patient Outcome (K Farrington); Continuous Quality Improvement Through Clinical Pathways (K L Brayman & P Wallace); The Access Clinic (D M Manas); Recirculation and Dialysis Access (P W Chamney); The Value of Ultrasonic Imaging in Defining the Anatomy for Vascular Access (A Eltayar et al.); Anaesthetic Management (P Korsah & N Pace); Arteriovenous Fistulas (N S Hakim); Use of Autogenous Vein or Synthetic Grafts (A G Hakaim & W A Oldenburg); Complications of Vascular Access (K M Rigg); Revision Access Surgery (P A Lear); Central Venous Catheters (J A Akoh); Access for Paediatric Patients (O N Fernando); Radiology of Access (A Al-Kutoubi); Peritoneal Dialysis Access (M A Akyol); Nursing Care of Patients with Dialysis Access (J Emery).

Download or read book Buttonhole Cannulation written by M. Misra and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The buttonhole method for the cannulation of the arteriovenous fistula was discovered more than 40 years ago and was soon adopted on a wide scale due to its obvious benefits of decreased puncture pain and extension of the life of the arteriovenous fistula. Following reports of complications such as a higher incidence of access-related infections, the method has lately been the subject of intense scrutiny; recent research has focused on the mechanisms of buttonhole access-related infections and newer techniques that may have bearing on the future use of the buttonhole method. This book presents an easily accessible overview of information relevant to the subject, including history, benefits and the latest research results related to the buttonhole cannulation method. It aims to rekindle an awareness of the advantages of this method and to encourage a critical analysis of possible techniques to overcome current barriers that prevent a wider spread of the technique.

Book Synopsis Automated Peritoneal Dialysis by : Claudio Ronco
Download or read book Automated Peritoneal Dialysis written by Claudio Ronco and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) has been the standard peritoneal procedure since the seventies, different schedules of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) have emerged during the eighties. Today, APD is considered a valuable tool in the management of ESRD patients, together with CAPD and hemodialysis. However, despite its frequent use, APD has not yet been well assessed, and most pathophysiological and clinical studies on PD refer to CAPD. In this book, major experts in the field therefore discuss and evaluate the insights gained on APD up to now, presenting a comprehensive review of all experimental, technical and clinical aspects related to the various treatments grouped under the definition of APD. The recent developments presented are divided into four sections: membrane permeability, transport mechanisms and kinetic modeling applied to APD; prescription and adequacy of different APD treatment schedules; dialysis machines and solutions for APD, and, lastly, different clinical aspects such as the possibility to maintain APD program and residual renal function. Physicians involved in ESRD care, renal fellows and scientists both in the academic world and in the hospital setting will undoubtedly profit from this timely publication.
