Point-of-care ultrasound for assessing arteriovenous fistula maturity in outpatient hemodialysis.

CONCLUSION: Point-of-care ultrasound facilitates early and safe arteriovenous fistula cannulation leading to a reduction in central venous catheter time and risk of infection. Point-of-care ultrasound may also aid in earlier identification of complications and difficult cannulations. PMID: 32339063 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
