Answer 2

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Hemodialysis is performed using a device called a dialyzer, through which blood circulates and passes through a filter, which will eliminate only what is needed as it is composed of a membrane specifically prepared for the procedure.

The blood to be filtered out comes through a catheter inserted into the blood vessels. After filtration, clean, toxin-free, less liquid blood returns to the bloodstream through another catheter.

In people who often need hemodialysis, a minor surgery is possible, which joins a vein to an artery, forming an arteriovenous fistula, which becomes a vessel with high blood flow and high resistance to repeated punctures, facilitating the procedure.

When hemodialysis is urgent and surgery to place the fistula has not yet been scheduled in the hospital, a catheter is placed into a large vein in the neck, thorax or groin, which is then removed.
