Determination of the compatibility between arterial samples and blood samples from arteriovenous fistulas for ESRD patients

Arterial blood gases (ABG) is a common and gold standard procedure often used to assess acid-base status electrolytes. sampling technically difficult painful causes rare but serious complications for the patient (such as vascular injury or embolism). The gas analysis of samples drawn from arteriovenous fistula (AVF) requires fewer punctures relatively safer less patient. study included (22) patients analyzer (ABL800 FLEX PLUS analyzer) was used. results showed that there were no clinically significant differences between arterial sample sample.
