Abstract
Vascular access is the lifeline for end-stage renal disease patients needing hemodialysis treatment. For dialysis treatment two needles are placed into the vascular access.
Few studies on needle hemidynamics have been published. Ultrasound investigation of the hemodinamics of the dialysis needles is feasible.
The extreme blood flow jet through the arterial needle was directed in all patients to the anterior vessel wall.
