Article Synopsis
- This study focused on establishing criteria for identifying significant decreases in blood flow (Q) during hemodialysis access surveillance in patients with grafts or fistulas.
- Researchers measured Q multiple times in 25 patients during dialysis sessions and found that a decrease greater than 33% is significant at p < 0.05, while a decrease over 17% is significant at p < 0.20.
- The study concluded these thresholds help guide referrals for evaluating and correcting vascular stenosis, with a recommendation favoring a > 33% decrease to minimize unnecessary procedures.
