Arteriovenous fistula = Surgically created passage connecting an artery and a vein; used in hemodialysis Ileal conduit = Surgical diversion formed by bringing the ureters to the ileum; urine is excreted through a stoma External condom catheter = Soft, pliable sheath made of silicone material, applied externally to the penis, connected to drainage tubing and a collection bag Indwelling urethral catheter = Catheter through the urethra into the bladder for continuous drainage of urine; a balloon is inflated to ensure it remains in the bladder

Bruit = A sound caused by turbulent blood flow Nocturia = Awakening at night to urinate Dysuria = Painful or difficult urination Fenestrated = Having a window-like opening

<p>Hemodialysis = Removal from the body, by means of blood filtration, of toxins and fluid normally removed by the kidneys Intermittent urethral catheter = Catheter through the urethra into the bladder to drain urine for a short period of time (5 to 10 minutes) Arteriovenous graft = Surgically created connection between an artery and vein using synthetic material; used in hemodialysis CSS = Styling web pages</p> Signup and view all the answers
