Fistula 1

Fistula 1

Definition:

A fistula is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, used for hemodialysis treatment.

Purpose:

This connection allows blood to flow to the dialysis machine at a sufficient rate for effective cleaning.

Type:

It is generally referred to as an arteriovenous (AV) fistula.

Application Site:

Most commonly created in the arm or forearm (for example, between the radial artery and the cephalic vein).

Advantages:

• It is the most durable vascular access.

• It carries the lowest risk of infection.

• It provides strong blood flow, ensuring efficient dialysis.

Maturation Time:

The fistula usually matures within 4–8 weeks before it can be used.
