Venous Pressure Monitoring
Measurement of venous pressure will be taken at dialysis machine pump speed set at 200ml/min, fistula needle gauge 16.
Color Doppler Ultrasound
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) Access flow (QA) will be obtained using color Doppler ultrasound using the Mindray-M5 ultrasound system. AVF feeding arterial flow will be measured immediately proximal to the fistula. The QA volume will be obtained using the algorithm available on the system, which is based on the mean flow of two measurements.
