Hemodialysis Access Considerations

low resistance

The type of waveform expected to be seen in the radial artery piror to the connection to the vein is:

anechoic inflow vessel to the graft with a 1:1 velocity ratio 

An abnormal finding of a hemodialysis access examination would include of the following EXCEPT:

Bresica-Cimino fistula 

One of the more common hemodialysis access creations for hemodialysis access is the:

bounding pulsaitle feel at location of connection of artery to vein 

All of the following are indications for scanning a hemodialysis access AV Fistula or Graft EXCEPT: 

Evaluation of the artieral system

Evaluation of the superficial venous system 

Preoperative assessment for hemodialysis access includes which of the following:

False

When evaluating the arterial system, it's important to ensure that the artery measures at minimum 4 mm. True or False?

flow volume should be > 400 mL/min but less than 1000 ml/min

When evaluating a patient with a hemodialysis access graft, which of the following statements is TRUE: 

the arterial inflow to the graft 

the connection points

prox, mid, and distal graft

outlfow veins

when evaluating a patient sent for difficulty with cannulation during a hemodialysis session, the sonographer must be sure to evaluate:

an Ateriovenous fistula 

When the radial artery is connected to either a cephalic vein or basilic vein, this is referred to a:

the vein to be >  to 4 mm 

Pre-venous assessment for a hemodialysis graft placement requires:
