It is time to implement prepump arterial pressure monitoring during hemodialysis: A retrospective multicenter study.

CONCLUSIONS: |Pa/Qb| was an independent risk factor for arteriovenous fistula dysfunction. Nurses should emphasize |Pa/Qb| monitoring and properly set blood pump speed according to this ratio to protect arteriovenous fistula function. |Pa/Qb| > 0.499 might be a predictive measure of arteriovenous fistula dysfunction.
