Yes | No | |
---|---|---|
The fistula/graft does not have a pulsation (even with augmentation) at the anastamosis or the access body | ||
The fistula/graft does not have a palpable thrill at the anastamosis or the access body | ||
The fistula/graft does not have an audible bruit anywhere along the anastamosis or body (up to 10 cm from the anastamosis) | ||
A radiological intervention such as angioplasty, thrombolysis, stenting, embolization or other will not salvage the access to be useable | ||
A surgical revision will not salvage the access to be useable. Note: A revision means that it is a revision of the current access and not a surgical procedure that will effectively create new access |
||
A reasonable effort has been made to improve the condition of the access in order for it to be used; for example, adequate elevation and time for rest of an infiltrated fistula | ||
The access is viable but there are complications that require the abandonment of the access e.g. high cardiac output failure or severe steal syndrome | ||
Other, indicate:_______________________________________ | ||
I confirm that the fistula or graft is officially abandoned for further use and is not safely salvageable |
