Dialysis patient

Originally, I liked access and put the bracelet on the left,

After making the shunt, I put it on the right,

I try not to carry anything heavy...

However, when I went to dialysis on Thursday and checked the sound, there was no sound, and when I checked the echo, it was not a situation where dialysis could come out,

I want you to go to the hospital right now...

I started dialysis for about a year and a half...

The first shunt was ruined by a blood clot 🥹

Day 3 of making a new shunt!! (4 / 5)

I'm thinking of buying a stethoscope 🩺 to check my shunt sound every day,

I saw it on the internet, but there are too many,

I don't know which stethoscope 🩺...

If you are a dialysis patient and use a stethoscope, please tell me which one you are using and which one is better (ᴗᴗ) ". ·

... Read more透析患者にとってシャントの健康管理は非常に重要で、日々のシャント音の確認はトラブルの早期発見に役立ちます。私自身も最初のシャントに血栓ができてしまい、急遽病院での対応を余儀なくされました。アクセサリーを右腕に付け替え、重いものを持たないようにするなど、生活習慣の見直しも欠かせません。 シャント音の自己チェックには聴診器が便利ですが、市販されている聴診器は種類が多く、どれを選べば良いのか迷いやすいです。実体験として、透析患者専用に設計された聴診器は使いやすさと音の明瞭さが優れており、日々のチェックが負担になりません。特にポータブルで軽量なタイプは患者の負担を減らせるのでおすすめです。 また、専門家や他の透析患者の使用感を参考に、品質や耐久性に優れたブランドを選ぶことが大切です。ネットのレビューだけでなく、実際に医療機関や透析クリニックで使用しているモデルを確認するのも良い方法です。シャントの状態を確実に把握することで、血栓などのリスクを減らし、安心して透析生活を続けることができます。 シャント管理のための聴診器選びに迷っている方は、ぜひ実際に使った方の意見を取り入れながら、自分に合うものを見つけてみてください。日々のシャント音の確認は小さな習慣ですが、大きな安心につながります。
