This is called a HAEMODIALYSIS CATHETER.
It is for patients undergoing dialysis.
It is inserted into a patient's chest through the internal jugular vein.
The red port cannula is the arterial lumen that draws deoxygenated blood out of the patient's body and sends it to the dialysis machine for cleaning.
The blue cannula is the venous lumen that carries cleaned, filtered blood from the dialysis machine back into the patient's bloodstream.
This catheter stays in a patient's body for 6 - 12 weeks, or even longer, depending on medical decisions, before being replaced with a permanent fistula.
A healthy kidney filters your blood 400 times per day, while a dialysis machine does so only 2 times a week, for about 5 hours per session.
Dialysis patients have to arrive at the renal unit as early as 3 am, twice a week.
Not even a dialysis machine can replace the efficiency of a healthy kidney.
Therefore, take care of your kidneys.

Dear @WorldBankGroup@IMFNews ,
We are very much aware that it has always been your intention to trap Kenyans under the armpits of Odious debts by servicing the lavish lifestyles of crooks at the expense of the suffering taxpayers.
I am here to show you the expenditure abracadabra you are pretending to be asking for.
Our constitution says that every public debt must be attached to development projects.
As you can see from the three images, we are very much aware that you are very happy with how the debts borrowed outside the law are being spent.
Your intention has always been to keep Kenya underdeveloped and trapped under the armpits of Odious debts.
91% of collected revenue is being used to service the illegal debts and nothing is left for development.
But you know what? We are not going to pay Odious debts. It's your time to shine. We will soon have a revolution and you will not believe.

Dear @WorldBankGroup , I believe it's already past midnight in Washington. If you stand at the top of the tower today, pass our bitter greetings to your fellow economic terrorists @IMFNews . Your fellow crooks @WorldBankAfrica can confirm it's already morning in Africa, so, good morning?
We are hearing that William Ruto's killer regime has requested additional Ksh 800B debt?
We are very much aware that you will give them that illegal debt because it is your mission to trap Kenyans under the armpits of Odious debts by servicing the lavish lifestyles of crooks in frame 1 and 2 at the expense of suffering taxpayers who are even borrowing to feed themselves as in frame 3.
We are aware of the Bretton Woods Agreement of 3rd February 1964 where you signed an immunity against prosecution after committing economic crimes.
We are working on quashing that agreement.
We also hope you have some bankers where you will house these crooks once we start hunting them down.
We Kenyans, we are not going to pay debts we never incurred.
You cannot be giving illegal debts for financing goonism and the lavish lifestyles of crooks and expect us to pay.
Bwana we are not going to pay #OdiousDebts #DeniBandia
Hello @WorldBankGroup . I don't know the time in America, but @IMFNews agrees with me that it's evening, so, good evening?
I heard that you were asking about expenditure abracadabra.
This is what happens when you give crooks illegal debts.
Explain to me how you expect Kenyans to pay you debts which have been used to service the lavish lifestyles of crooks like the ones in the image below.
As Kenyans, we have agreed that we are not going to pay debts we never incurred.
I have been blogging for 15 years, and over that period I have handled very many complaints touching on CITAM, especially around money and how some issues are handled internally.
What I have also noticed over the years is that CITAM members tend to over-defend the church, even when serious questions are being raised.
So on this one, siwezi funzwa kazi.
CITAM is OWUOR church but with no miracles.
The latest propaganda being pushed around UDA and 2027 is very simple.
They want Kenyans to believe that the election is already gone, that Ruto will rig, that voting will not matter, that registration is useless and that the people should enter 2027 already defeated in their minds.
That is why you are seeing this “they will rig” line being sponsored and amplified everywhere, including by sections of the media that have become very friendly to this regime.
NTV itself has carried the framing of UDA leaders allegedly plotting to rig 2027, showing how loud this narrative has become in public conversation.
To be honest, the optics of serious, countrywide rigging are too heavy for this regime.
This is a government that cannot repair potholes, cannot manage fuel prices, cannot manage schools, cannot manage hospitals, cannot manage salaries, cannot even explain simple taxes without creating anger.
You really believe the same confused regime has the intelligence, discipline, secrecy and technical sophistication to manage a clean nationwide rigging operation without being caught?
Rigging a presidential election is not like bribing a few brokers in a hotel or manipulating a small party nomination. A national election has agents, polling stations, forms, constituency tallying centres, observers, media, screenshots, live streams, parallel tallies and millions of angry citizens watching every number. The moment Kenyans realize even one vote does not tally, this country will enter a crisis bigger than anything this regime can control.
That is why I believe this “he will rig anyway” chorus is not just a warning.
It is psychological warfare meant to kill voter registration, kill turnout and create apathy. It is also meant to make young people say, “Why vote if they will steal it?” That is exactly where they want you mentally.
The real answer is not to stay home but massive registration, massive turnout, agents in every polling station, parallel tallying, civic vigilance and zero fear.
Elections are not stolen from people who are awake, organized and watching every vote. Elections are stolen from people who were discouraged before the first ballot was even cast.
So don’t fall for the propaganda. The vote still matters, registration matters, turnout mattes and polling station vigilance matters.
Nassrawis… what a season. From day one, we knew what we wanted and what it would take to get there. We worked, fought and gave everything in every training and every game. It wasn’t an easy road, but we did it together. Thank you for believing in us and standing by our side every step of the way.
This is not mine. This is yours. This is ours.
From all the players, staff and everyone involved in the club, to you guys who supported us every single day of the season.
Grateful for your love and support ❤️
