When assessing a patient undergoing dialysis, including his av graft, red and hot skin at the graft site would be of greatest concern to the emt.
An arteriovenous (AV) graft is a purposeful union of an artery and vein made by inserting graft material therein. Anatomy, life expectancy, and other criteria are taken into consideration while deciding whether to use an AV graft over a different kind of hemodialysis access. The graft is typically implanted in the arm, although it can also be done in the leg.
After the AV graft procedure, the patient immediately afterward presented with redness, edoema, and discharge at the operative site. Prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVG), which are used more frequently to generate hemodialysis access, are susceptible to infections that can lead to bleeding and infectious consequences that could be fatal as well as loss of dialysis access.
