[Evaluation of blood flow using a reservoir flowmeter of several types of arteriovenous fistulas in chronic hemodialysis treatment].
Blood flow of nine end to end and eight side to side arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) at distal forearm for maintenance hemodialysis, was measured by blood flowmeter inserted in the arterial line between the pump and the dialyzer. The mean flow of the end to end and the side to side fistulas was 386.6 +/- 69.6 ml/min and 345 +/- 45 ml/min (p 0.01) respectively. Since, in addition, the end to end flow seems to be better than the side to side flow as regards local and general effects, we advocate the use of end to end fistulas.
