Cannulation Camp: Basic needle cannulation training for dialysis staff

Arteriovenous fistula cannulation by buttonhole technique using dull needle.

INTRODUCTION Cannulation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may be performed by the following techniques: area puncture, rope ladder, or buttonhole. The ideal technique has not yet been established.

Cecal Cannulation in Horse; an Experimental Study

Background: In order to analyze the cecum-colon ecosystem and the treatment of the cecal impaction and hindgut acidosis, cecal cannulation is needed. It is essential to select a simple, fast and inexpensive cecal cannulation method. Because of different complications in general anesthesia, the standing surgery is known as a better option for the horse emergency surgery. Objective: The objective...
