dialysis

[honeygodoo9]

i hope artificial kidney implant may soon come out in the market with so many companies working on it around the globe.

[honeygodoo9]

for how long duration of time span permacath works? n for how many times we can replace permacath? wat about grafts? i mean have they invented much more durable grafts for hd?

[angieskidney]

looks like your one line in your PermCath was blocked, right? I remember I hated the feeling of that part but it is a normal part of hemo dialysis with a permcath. Thanks for sharing this vid.

I was on Peritoneal Dialysis but then had to switch to hemo myself because of a complication. Hope things are well for you now.

[transplant07]

im thankful to have had my transplant 3 yrs ago i hated dialysis

[Scilla209]

ya the cath isnt so bad. bt i hate it whn they clean it lol. i just started my needle like two months ago and its alot better

[raymond36679]

i didntn like the part wher cleaned my port itched liked crazy

[transplant07]

this is way better then the fistula and getting those 14g needles. tho they say fistula gives you a better cleaning trust i jus had a double organ transplant 4 yrs ago kidney/pancreas....SAY NO TO FISTULAS

[kirbyforlife420]

@ fbtvonline - Ruben = I know how you feel and what you and your mom went though! i to started ESRD at the age of 3 had dialysis at 7 had 2 transplats one at 9 one at 12 lost kidney at age 22 and have been doing Hemo ever since

though all my life i have had, a stroke, been in a comma 2 times, had seizure, my mom was told 2 or 3 times i wasnt going to make it! i have seen it and been though it alot

[dreamprincess024]

hey ,,

i guess hemodialysis catheter problems are common every where not just in the hospital i work in.

i though there was a problem with our doctors.

[mattswede]

Hi,

Interesting video. However very disappointing that you did the dressing post putting the patient on the machine. Best practice is to change dressing first, decontamine hands and then put the patient on. Best practice is to just use a clear dressing for all patients.

Best of luck

Matt

[josuelecho]

damn!! damn!! damn!! i can't believe i saw it agait.. then i started to feel it.. i was with this about 3 years.. then my mother gave me a kidney in 2001. Today i still living with that kidney.. but being watched this video OMG!! it makes yu look back..

[FGondola]

sic04250f and asmaMs20. pd is ok for some people but you can't go swimming and for some the stomach gets BIG. And as for the DONOR is not at RISK ones he /she is in good health they would be on there feet right after and back to work in less than 2 weeks.

[keenandwhat009]

It's kind'a scary seeing all those thick tubes full of blood. Yesterday i didn't know anything about dialysis, today i have an understanding, because of people sharing and know now what people go through, If i could donate i would.

[ernabella99]

I know exactly how that feels...I was 19 when it happend to me...and just astarting my uni degree....for nursing ...life....is life...and its stops for no one...

[sic04250f]

I was on hd for a few months until my pd got going, been doin that now for 6mths and no infection yet. I was told by alot of people that pd is better. You said youve been on dialysis for 30yrs, thats hardcore!

[yometin]

man i have to go today, this sucks

[GhettoDiner]

Hey dude best wishes man. I hope everything is going well.

[LVLGL]

it do suck i go in 3 time a week 3 hour in that 3 day week stick the niddle on the same spot for the rest of your life in DIALYSIS

[geekintheblue]

Now I know what my dad has to go through for 3 days a week. This sucks

[fbtvonline]

I am happy that there are living donors around the world welling to donate, please keep the positive inspiration to the the many out there who are walking not knowing if they can save a life....a stranger/family/friend you never know....

[ChicanoLove11]

@fbtvonline I will put you somewhere locked away so you cant get your blood you sick dying piece of shit.

[kenzieclan]

I can still do all the things I could before the donation. My Sister's joy in being a mother has been awesome. Her quality of life is so much better. If you can help someone then please do. I don't regret it for a second. Sure it was bloody painful but it's worth it to see the change you can bring to another persons life. Become a donor. Save a life. Make a difference. You only need one kidney. SOmeone somewhere really needs the one you don't need. Is it painful? yes. Worth doing? HELL YEAH!

[asmaMs20]

hello friend, my younger sister is a kidney patient......doctors say she might need transplant in future....I have heard  that even go go through the transplant....you still have to go through checkups all your life...and the donor is also risk....is this true

[kenzieclan]

My Sister had to go on emergency dialysis when she gave birth and her kidneys just about died back in 97. She had always wanted to be a Mother. Her wee boy died 2 days old. She was heart broken. Thought she would never be a Mum. I gave her my left kidney in 2000. Her condition improved so much she gave birth to an Angel called Sara 2 years ago. Sis has never been happier in her life. If any potential donors read this, I hope you feel inspired to help somebody needing a new kidney

[kyzichanyo]

I have kidney failure happened in december my husband died of cancer 6 months before talk about depressing and we have a 12 year old boy I am on pd dialysis even though i have to do it every night I feel better and feel free to go anywhere now

[orissamedical]

Thanks for your video

[patientspride]

Thank you for this video! If anyone is considering hemo-dialysis, please look into peritoneal dialysis thoroughly before making your choice. PD might be a great choice for you if you're active and need more energy. Every body is different and your medical team should be able to help you with your questions with PD. Thank you for sharing this video!

[bbycakes562]

if hey people i have a question!!

if i pee does it mean my kidneys still work a lil bit?

[buzderan]

yes

[willbri1]

yes, just not enough to filter out all of the dangerous toxins in your body. That's when dialysis comes into play.

[transplant07]

man there where so many time's i wanted to yank that thing out i hated so much couldnt shower get it wet or anything and i jus had a double organ transplant last year and im doing good so far

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

Dont know why im telling you all this, i guess i just need to lighten my heart a bit.

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

ive been in dialysis before, when i was about 7 years old. then i got a transplant, and i lived a ALLMOST normal life in 20 years.(exept for all the medicine) then for about a year ago, my doctor told me that i had to go to dialysis again. And when he told me this, I cryed inside. it was like a death sentence for me.

I had thought, and im still thinking alot about life and death, and there doesnt goes a day bye, without im thinking about taking my own life.

[rawfan2007]

omg, thats horrible

[Kari1102]

wow. why did you have to go back on dialysis? My boyfriend got a transplant about a month ago and was on dialysis for about 4 months.

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

Because a kidney, from a transplant doesn´t last a lifetime, my transplant allmost lastet 20 years.. The transplantet kidney will allways, all the time 24/7, try to reject from the body. but all the medicine, you will have to take prevent the reject ( for a limited amount of time - nothing last forever )

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

Anyways - your BF is lucky to have been selected, from the many patiens waiting, for a new kidney. The kidney donor for your BF, just had the exactly right match, to make a transplant (but you allreaydy know all this - right? ) And the 2 thing, your BF, whas on the right place on the right time. Ive been in Dialasys for 6 months now, still waiting, for the right match. When i was a child i was in dialasys for about 2 years, before the right match came along.

Anyways, thanks for your reply.

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

Hi all. I live in Denmark. im 26. And i am in dialysis 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday,and friday. usually im "in the machine" 3,5 hours, but sometimes ive got so much fluid in my body that i have to do 4 hours, and sometimes more...

I HATE THIS. THIS IS HELL ON EARTH. Seriously, if i go to hell when i die, it would be more like a holyday for me. (Ohh dont mind me, im just soo sad.)

[poundsman001]

C9H13NO3Adrenaline, i share your sad story and pain. But,i tell you what, be hopeful. You see, hope is a good things,perhaps the best of things. I pray you will find the right donor ASAP. Remember, every human being at one point will encounter tribulation. Consequently, pray to overcome it. In addendum, Impossible is nothing. Lots of love. xx

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

thanks for the lovely reply, poundsman001.

I have a bit of hope left in me.

But ive en countered so much adversity, througout my whole life.

So its hard for me to "see the light,at the

end of the tunnel" If you know what i mean.

anyway, thanks for your understanding.

[poundsman001]

You are always welcome. I know what you meant

C9H13NO3Adrenaline. You shall see the light at the end of the tunnel very soon. I believe that, trust me. You shall live in peace and NOT suffer any longer. Stay bless. You are not alone, I will always pray for you. Lots of love. xx

[phei6701]

the hands of this nurse is so hot!

[MarmarisRN]

Yeah, being on dialysis sucks but its not the end of the world either. You just go to take your meds, restrict fluid, and listen to your doctors, nurses and other care givers.

[transplant07]

the only this hurts and i mean hurts is they take too much fluid off of you and your legs cramp so fucking bad i know ive been through this and i jus a transplant

[webstudio11]

is this painful

[C9H13NO3Adrenaline]

Mentally it is very painfull. but not the treatment itself.

[cera12345]

perche nn parla

[alejameigh]

Why did the nurse the venous site as her arterial port. There is a problem of recirculation here. She should report it to the doctor about the patient access. You cannot totally have a good dialysis in that case. I hope by now, the pt. have a permanent access like shunt or AV fistula. Take care.

[jam07ksa]

Aunt having dialysis

[ThePrimeSpotcom]

Thanks. Now I know what G.Murray Thomas goes through, too!

[sundardialysis]

i can't download this vedio

[thumps123]

you ptc need to go back to school!!!

[fbtvonline]

I don't want 2 sound like a dick or come out that way, if there was something wronmg, i've wouldnt be around after 30 ytears on dialysis..

if you can top that cool, plus PTC arent allowed to do cathether only RN, So ide be worried if you have PTC taking care of you....

1978/2008

top that

[debster592]

regulations vary from state to state as far as to what duties a PCT can perform and what they may not do. Here in Massachusetts, PCT's may initiate catheters but may not withdraw a citrate lock (we can withdraw a heparin lock). We also administer saline and heparin. I have been a PCT for 7 years and Certified for the last 2. PCT's can and do initiate catheters everyday SAFELY and with as much care and knowledge as an RN. Congrats on such a long time on dialysis I am honestly impressed. Good luck

[JODYO1977]

@fbtvonline depends on which state you are in as to where c.c.h.t. (p.c.t.) can work with catheters.

[maj27]

wow i have noticed a big mistake here. Your nurse or PCT did not remove the heparin from the art(red) port and he just flushed it with saline wow ur prone to bleeding bro.since u have SC cath that's near 2 ur brain. They did reversed the line i suggest u talk 2 ur nephro and aware him u know reversing line could only lead to recirculation and not getting a good dialysis. I care for you and ur treatment...

[alejameigh]

u are right, i've notice it out right.

[kalabawbaka]

Have hope in God, He will never forsake you. I have been to dialysis before and had a kidney transplant last 2004 and until now am still alive. Thank you Lord!!! Bless all the people who are also undergoing this illness...

[78rossco]

so this is what i have to look forward too fkin great...

[roussel81]

Never thought i'd find a video of hemodialysis on youtube.. thanks for posting this. i have end stage renal disease too.. im waiting for a kidney transplant.. donors anybody??

[xoluvleexo25]

ALSO I want to point out that she flushes your arterial port with saline I'm asuming, thank God you did not have a clot or such in the line or you may not be here! I guess your not at a Fresenius Unit!?!

[xoluvleexo25]

First, what you recorded is illegal, nor would this hold up in court should you face complications such as infection.

Secondly, I do not understand why you where not given a cathflo activase, and why she pushed the heparin into the arterial port, which is obviously showing resistance. She should have reported this to the RN before starting your tx. Your dressing change should have been completed before the start of tx, to elimate possible infection spread.

AND WHERE IS THE HEMOSAFE CLIP!!!!

[JamieCorona]

depending on what state you aRE IN pctS ARE not ALLOWED TO ACCESS catheters. If this was a nurse, she knows she is supposed to have created a sterile field for this patient's access.

[WNxNokturnal]

That PTC looks unexperienced and unaware of the infection control that catheters are exposed to because of poor care.

[bisexualbuffthug]

I see the pain in that patients eye's. Bless his heart. I hope a miracle happens and his kidneys function again or he gets the transplant he needs.

[angieskidney]

I used to do Peritoneal Dialysis but got a very bad case of Peritonitis which almost killed me and was not caused by anything I did wrong so I had to switch to Hemo. Then I got a transplant that didn't work for 6 weeks .. still waiting for it to work .. so I still must do full time conventional dialysis 3 x per week :(

[prunepower]

I was on haemo dialysis for 2 months... I couldn't stand it any longer. I now do peritoneal dialysis at home, on my own clock.

[arismanuel]

i think the technique is poor..

hope the pt wont get infection

[nicebabexxx]

im scared cos i gotta had dialysis in the future and a transplant

[aminakoyum]

KDOQI suggests "clean the exit site in a circular motion from inside to outside" to prevent introducing germs to the exit site, and carry away germs away from the exit site.

PCT is touching the machine without any gloves - nono. Looks like a Fresenious 2008H dialysis machine. DO you go to DaVita?

[patientspride]

This is hemodialysis. Learn about Peritoneal Dialysis as well. If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, control it, so it will decrease your chances of being one of our customers. Have your doctor check your kidney function. This can be prevented in many cases. If you are facing the decision of having to do dialysis, learn about PD and do your homework! It's your life-your body! :) Great video

[angieskidney]

usually 3 times a week. I know I go 3 times a week for 3 1/2 hrs every time. If I don't go I die. This is usually the case for any dialysis patient .. especially if their kidney function is ZERO and they no longer pee..

[jazzybee1]

my boss/best friend has to have dialysis 3 times a week and she has zero kidney function, she told me if she misses 2 treatments she can die. i feel so bad for her and if i could donate a kidney i would because she deserves it.. but she told me that she doesn't do number 1 either and if she does she only does it like 2 times a week, she said she doesn't even feel the need to pee.. you know the feeling you get when you have to pee..but i feel so bad for her..you all are so brave, for real..

[kris10chelle]

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful to see what happens...

before it happens.

[mwd13]

Does that have to be done every day?
