Summary

Arteriovenous fistulae are preferred among methods of providing blood access for hemodialysis. For each hemodialysis treatment, the fistula is cannulated usually with two needles. One, the arterial needle, allows the blood to be withdrawn from the patient into the dialysis circuit and then it is returned by the second or venous needle. The success of arteriovenous fistula cannulation is dependent on many variables and these are affect the dialysis adequacy.
