Abstract
Sufficient blood flow in arteriovenous shunt (AVS) is one of the key parameters for successful and effective hemodialysis treatment. The development flow is monitored using a blood temperature monitor (BTM), which is a module which based on the thermodilution method can measure recirculation in the AVS. From the measured recirculation, then we can calculate the flow rate in AVS. Subsequent calculations and interpretation of measured data has to choose the appropriate type of software that users, and physicians provides a comprehensive picture of the patient’s vascular access. Flow measurement in vascular access AVS in the department of chronic hemodialysis has long been monitored by Doppler ultrasound examination, which is considered a basic examination. Flow measurement in AVS using BTM module can be considered as an alternative method of measurement.
