Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

808
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Biliary Tract Interventions

Background:

  • Biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) involves cutting the biliary sphincter and common bile duct.
  • It is used for treating papilla of Vater diseases and facilitating biliary interventions.
  • EST is a prerequisite for many endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications and contraindications for biliary EST.
  • To detail the various techniques employed in biliary EST.
  • To discuss the management of complications associated with biliary EST.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy.
  • Analysis of techniques, indications, and contraindications.
  • Discussion of complication management strategies.

Main Results:

  • EST is essential for treating sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and enabling stone extraction or stenting.
  • Knowledge of EST techniques and parameters is critical for ERCP practitioners.
  • Effective management of EST complications is necessary for patient safety.

Conclusions:

  • Biliary EST is a fundamental endoscopic procedure with diverse applications.
  • Comprehensive understanding of EST is vital for successful and safe biliary interventions.
  • This review provides essential information for clinicians performing EST.
