Good morning,

Hope to steal some information from you regarding……..steal!

Does anyone have specific diagnostic criteria for diagnosing steal from dialysis access grafts/fistulas? Are you using finger PPG waveforms before and after access compression? Finger pressures? Radial/ulnar CW or PW waveforms pre- and post- access compression? Are you looking to see if flow just increases to the hand with access compression, or are you measuring how much of a change there is in pressure or waveform amplitude and then determining whether there is a steal based on the change in flow?

Thanks!

Jeff
