Definition
Vascular access is the circulatory site that allows the connection between the patients circulation and the dialyzer
The two most common types of chronic access used for hemodialysis are :

Implementation of the Dialysis outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) guidelines for vascular access management (1997)
Multidisciplinary
approach :
DOQI guideline
a) Diagnostic Evalution Prior to Permanent Access Selection
Preoperative Venography Other imaging studies : USG doppler
Flow Vein Mapping Mapping upper arm cephalic vein Forearm veins in obese patients

b) Selection of permanent vascular access :
AV Fistula (15%) AV graft (85%) : 1980 - 1990

Preoperative preparation
Patient :
Informed consent Nondominant arm Pressure differential < 20 mmHg between arms Patient palmar arch has to be good
Arterial requirements
Allen test
Venous requirements
point Absence of obstruction Straight segment for cannulation Within 1 cm of surface Continuity with central veins
USG Doppler
Allen Test

Position the patient so that he or she is facing you with their arm extended with the palm turned upward Compress both the radial and ulnar arteries at the wrist With the arteries compressed firmly, instruct the patient to create a fist repetitively to cause the palm to blanch When the patients hand is blanched, release your compression of the ulnar artery and watch the palm to determine if it becomes pink. Then release all compression :
Pale Pink Allen test positive Allen test negative Abnormal flow Normal flow

Allen Test
Operation Technique
Wash the upper and forearm with savlon And desinfects with povidone iodine 10%
Put the sterile drapping until the 1/3 distal upper arm
Local Anesthesia :
Xylocain or Lidocain 1-2% 10 cc
Identification of cephalic vein, radial artery & separates it from surrounding tissue
Oblique Cut the vein after ligation the distal part and lumen dilatation
Oblique cut the artery after ligation the distal part and lumen dilatation
Primary thrombosis fistula Secondary thrombosis fistula Proximal venous stenosis-hand hyperaemia Puncture site infection Aneurysm formation Cavernous transformation Left ventricular failure (very rare)
During insertion
Pneumothoraks Hematothoraks Subclavian artery injury Brachial plexus injury Caval perforation Guide-wire fracture
Disconnection
Migration
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Severe upper-extremity edema; secondary to subclavian lesions in two patients with ipsi-lateral functional arteriovenous dialysis accesses
Etiology :
Primary CRF :622 (90,6%) Secondary CRF : 65 (9,4%)

Technique
Distally as possible (1/3 distal forearm) on nondominant arm
Dont pass the styloid processus of radius
If its still not possible, try the cubiti region. Next if not possible, try the graft surgery (autologus or prosthesis) Still fail, do the shunt on femoral region between great saphenous vein and femoral artery The last is Port A-Cath
