This document discusses vascular access for hemodialysis patients. It notes that adequate vascular access is important for dialysis efficiency and patient outcomes. Catheters should only be used short-term for acute dialysis or in hospitalized patients, while permanent access like arteriovenous fistulas are preferred. The document provides guidelines on catheter placement, maintenance, complications, and infection risks. It emphasizes that catheters are located in the heart and proper placement and care is important to minimize risks.
Radiological placement is consistently more reliable than surgical placement. There are fewer placement complications and fewer catheter infections overall.
It is convenient for the patient, quick, time saving, and cost effective

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2.
3. Without an adequate vascular access, HD efficiency
is reduced, which results in increased morbidity
and mortality
Dialysis access is most common vascular surgery
procedure
Access-related problems are responsible for 50% of
the hospitalizations of HD patients
4. Short-term catheters should be used for acute dialysis and
for a limited duration in hospitalized patients.
Non cuffed femoral catheters should be used in bed-bound
patients only.
Long-term catheters should be used in conjunction with a
plan for permanent access. Catheters capable of rapid flow
rates are preferred.
Catheter choice should be based on local experience, goals
for use, and cost.
Long-term catheters should not be placed on the same side
as a maturing AV access, if possible (RT sided for RT handed).
5. Patients with advanced CKD disease stage
4 CKD (GFR <30), or based on progression
of renal disease) who have elected
hemodialysis as their choice of renal
replacement therapy should be referred
to an access surgeon in order to evaluate
and plan construction of AV access
If a prosthetic access is to be constructed,
this should be delayed until just before
the need for dialysis.
6. Able to deliver high flow (>400 ml/min)
reliably
Easy to insert and remove
Comfortable and acceptable by patient
Durable
Free of infection
Does not cause venous thrombosis or stenosis
Free of fibrin sheath
Inexpensive
7.
8.
9. Universally applicable
Multiple access sites
No maturation time can be used
immediately
No direct hemodynamic effects on the
circulation
Allows time for maturation of native AVF
Thrombotic complications simple to
correct
10. The shortest long term patency rates of all
permanent access procedures
Lower blood flow rates obligating longer
dialysis times
External device
Morbidity
Insertion complications
Thrombosis
Infection
> 3 months -morbidity excessive
Risk of central vein stenosis or occlusion
•Limits chronic access options
11. These catheters are suitable for
immediate use and should not be
inserted before needed .
The subclavian insertion site should not
be used in a patient who may need
permanent vascular access .
12.
13. 2nd left internal jugular
-Higher incidence of flow problems
-Higher risk of stenosis
3rd inferior vena cava
-Femoral –best alternative
-Translumbar
Subclavian
-High risk of stenosis
-Acceptable only if no further arm access
planned
14. Chest x-ray is mandatory after subclavian
and internal jugular insertion prior to
catheter use to confirm catheter tip position
Femoral catheters should be at least 19-cm
long to minimize recirculation.
Noncuffed femoral catheters should not be
left in place longer than 5 days and should be
left in place only in bed-bound patients.
15.
16.
17. Place in right internal jugular
Use ultrasound for cannulation
Use fluroscopy for placement
Place tip well within atrium
18. The primary determinants of catheter blood flow
(1) are catheter (inner) size dimensions
(2) Tip placement
19. Blind placement of a relatively stiff device
through the right internal jugular vein has
created the necessity of using a short
catheter to avoid atrial perforation.
The tip of these catheters comes to be
located in the proximal part of superior
vena cava, and this tip location in
smaller blood vessels does not allow for
as great a blood flow as catheters
located in the distal superior vena cava
and the right atrium
20. NKF-DOQI guidelines recommend placement
of a catheter with the tip adjusted to the
level of the caval atrial junction or into the
right atrium to ensure optimal blood flow.
For untunneled catheters, the catheter
length and diameter should be adjusted to
the size of the patient.
21. In general, in patients with a body
surface area of 1.5 to 2.0 m2
-A 12-15 cm catheter should be
selected for the jugular vein in the low
right position and
-A 15-19 cm catheter for the left
jugular vein.
-A 14 to 17 cm catheter should be
used for the right subclavian vein and
A17 to 22 cm catheter for the left
subclavian vein.
22. Subclavian catheters are more comfortable for
the patient and provide reliable blood flow if
placed in the right atrial cavity( SVC ostum)
It was shown that in the US 46% of all temporary
catheters used in patients starting hemodialysis
treatment were inserted into the subclavian
vein.(may be lower infection)
(against DOQI guidelines)
23.
24. Recirculation:
With the use of catheters, recirculation
is dependent upon two factors:
the location of the catheter tip
the status of the patient's central
circulation.
28. Local infection
- Exit site infection
- Tunnel infection
Systemic infection
- Catheter related bacteremia( CRB )
29. Frequent – 20 to 30%
- Septic arthritis
- Endocarditis
- Epidural abscess
- Death – 6 to 18%
30.
31.
32.
33.
34.
35. Nonfunctional non cuffed catheters can be
exchanged over a guide wire as long as the
exit site and tunnel are not infected.
Exit site, tunnel tract, or systemic
infections should prompt the removal of non
cuffed catheters.
36. The Problem is that
we forget that these
catheters are in the
heart exactly like our
patients who think
that these catheter
are in the neck or
chest .
37. After decades of success in dialysis research
and treatment, prompt availability of a well-
functioning vascular access for dialysis
remains a disturbing problem.
