Vascular access surveillance
Arteriovenous graft (AVG) a. Regular Access Blood Flow (Qa) or Doppler ultrasound stenosis (DUS) screening increases the detection of AVG stenosis compared to dynamic venous pressure (DVP)/clinical examination. (Level II evidence) b. Regular Qa screening with pre-emptive angioplasty does not reduce AVG thrombosis or prolong AVG survival. (Level I & II evidence) c. Whether regular DUS screening ...
متن کاملVascular access surveillance: evaluation of combining dynamic venous pressure and vascular access blood flow measurements.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Vascular access thrombosis is one of the most morbid problems encountered by hemodialysis patients. Surveillance protocols utilizing venous pressure (Vp) and vascular access blood flow (VABF) measurements have been employed to preserve vascular access. We undertook a study to evaluate combined dynamic Vp and VABF measurements in the identification of vascular access impairment. ...
متن کاملSurveillance of Hemodialysis Vascular Access with Ultrasound Vector Flow Imaging
The aim of this study was prospectively to monitor the volume flow in patients with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) with the angle independent ultrasound technique Vector Flow Imaging (VFI). Volume flow values were compared with Ultrasound dilution technique (UDT). Hemodialysis patients need a well-functioning vascular access with as few complications as possible and preferred vascular access is an...
متن کاملReducing the risk of infection associated with vascular access devices through nanotechnology: a perspective
Intravascular catheter-related infections are still a major problem in health care and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and additional cost. The formation of microbial biofilm on catheters makes these infections particularly complicated, as microbial cells that detach from the biofilm can lead to infection, and because these microorganisms are highly resistant to many antim...
