Hossain S, et al. - In this study, the impact of Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) as an adjunct to physical examination on arteriovenous fistula maturation had been examined. POCUS as an adjunct to physical examination for dialysis access patients resulted in declined rates of primary failure, new access creation, and fistula abandonment compared with patients who undergo only physical examination. Researchers recommended further studies to compare POCUS with formal preoperative vein mapping.
