U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Dennis Tran, 349th Medical Squadron medical technician, and U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Mandy Giffin, 633d Surgical Operations Squadron operating room nurse, prepare a dialysis patient for arteriovenous (AV) fistula surgery during the Lesser Antilles Medical Assistance Team (LAMAT) 2025 mission at Modern Medical & Diagnostic Center, Georgetown, Saint Vincent, March 13, 2025. An AV fistula placement is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, used as a preferred vascular access for dialysis in patients with kidney disease. Global health engagements like LAMAT facilitate information exchanges between healthcare professionals and provide U.S. active duty and Reserve Airmen opportunities to sharpen their skills in resource limited environments.
