What does ERIC LADENHEIM research?

Dr. Ladenheim studies various techniques that help patients who require dialysis and manage traumatic injuries. One major area of his research is the development and use of the Venous Window Needle Guide, which assists in accessing difficult veins for dialysis, making treatment smoother for patients with challenging vascular conditions. Additionally, he investigates surgical tools like the sterile elastic exsanguination tourniquet, which is designed to minimize blood loss during procedures that involve creating access for hemodialysis. His work also extends to understanding the implications of serious injuries such as those resulting from gunshot wounds.

Key findings

  • With the use of the Venous Window Needle Guide, 78% of arteriovenous fistulas remained usable over 18 months, compared to just 38% without it.
  • The sterile elastic exsanguination tourniquet successfully prevented blood loss during hemodialysis access surgery in 27 patients, eliminating the need for transfusions.
  • The Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior has grown to over 350 members across 30 countries, demonstrating the collaborative effort in understanding eating behaviors.

The efficacy and durability of the Venous Window Needle Guide implanted on uncannulatable arteriovenous fistulas.

Journal of vascular surgery

Galt S, Crawford M, Blebea J, Ladenheim E, Browne B

Plain English
This study focused on the Venous Window Needle Guide (VWING), a device used to improve access to arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in patients who require dialysis but have difficult-to-access veins. Over 18 months, the study found that 78% of the AVFs remained usable with the VWING, while only 38% were functional without it. The results are significant because the VWING helps patients receive necessary dialysis treatment more effectively, which can greatly improve their quality of care. Who this helps: This helps dialysis patients who struggle with accessing their veins for treatment.

A sterile elastic exsanguination tourniquet is effective in preventing blood loss during hemodialysis access surgery.

The journal of vascular access

Ladenheim E, Krauthammer J, Agrawal S, Lum C, Chadwick N

Plain English
This study looked at a new tool called a sterile elastic exsanguination tourniquet (SET) used during surgeries to create access points for hemodialysis in 27 patients. The results showed that the SET significantly reduced blood loss and eliminated the need for blood transfusions, as none of the patients required any. The device not only effectively stopped blood flow but also kept the surgical area sterile and well-exposed, making the procedure safer and easier for doctors. Who this helps: This benefits patients undergoing hemodialysis access surgery and their doctors.

Physiology & behavior

Kissileff HR, Ladenheim E

Plain English
This paper discusses the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB), which was established in 1987 to bring together scientists from various fields to investigate how and why we eat and drink. Today, it has over 350 members from 30 countries and holds annual meetings to share the latest research on eating behaviors. The growth and direction of the SSIB highlight the importance of collaboration across disciplines, ensuring continued progress in understanding ingestive behavior. Who this helps: This benefits researchers, students, and professionals interested in nutrition and psychology.

Plain English
This study looks at a 16-year-old boy who suffered bleeding in the brain after being shot by a gun, even though his skull was not broken. He had to undergo surgery to remove the blood clots, but he eventually recovered. Understanding these types of injuries is important because it helps doctors recognize and treat the serious effects of gunshot wounds. Who this helps: This helps doctors and medical professionals dealing with gunshot injuries.
