Need new ultrasound - suggestions?

Posted By Venugopal Botla, Wednesday, January 12, 2022

Hello all,

Our center is looking to purchase another ultrasound for dialysis access procedures and flow measurements.  Currently we have a nice GE Logiq and also a really old Sonosite.  Any suggestions on a portable U/S machine that is good quality and relatively affordable?  Any thoughts on the Butterfly?

ASN Blog Post of Interest - Leg Fistula

Posted By Mary L. Nations, Wednesday, January 5, 2022

Dr. Anatole Besarab has shared an ASN Blog Post of Interest that he felt ASDIN Members would have great interest in.  The text of the posts are attached as a Word file.

ORIGINAL POST:

From: Varun Kumar Bandi

Respected seniors and colleagues

We have a 45 year old woman with CKD VD due to CIN and multiple fistula failures. Left RC was primary failure due to faulty technique and immediately left Brachio Cephalic AV fistula was done which failed in 2 months. She underwent right brachiocephalic AV fistula 6 months back but had a faulty cannulation with Hematoma and cellulitis. Clot evacuation with pseudoaneurysm repair done three weeks back and no thrill in the fistula. No other features of hyper coagulability. Now on temporary jugular Cath, and not willing for CAPD.
What would be the other options for long term access apart from tunnelled catheter. We are considering a leg fistula between posterior tibial and great saphenous. Any suggestions or experience with lower limb fistulas?

Posted By Administration, Wednesday, January 5, 2022

One of the large dialysis organizations measures dynamic venous pressure, rather than static venous pressure, as their sole AVF and AVG surveillance metric.
