Problems and Rationale Incidence of renal failure and dialysis Incidence in 2004Incidence in 2005 number of people (millions) Source: USRDS

Problems and Rationale Prevalence rates of renal failure and dialysis Prevalence rates in 2004Prevalence rates in 2005 Source: USRDS number of people (millions)

Problems and Rationale Treatments for renal failure Kidney transplantation Dialysis Peritoneal dialysis: 9.17% Hemodialysis: 90.83% Native arteriovenous (AV) fistula Synthetic AV shunt (Graft) U-type transplanted fistula Linear transplanted fistula 4

Problems and Rationale 5 Native AV fistula AV graft

Problems and Rationale Complications of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) Infection Bleeding Vascular access dysfunction Stenosis Embolism Steal syndrome Venous hypertension …..

Problems and Rationale Assessments for AVF function Palpated with the fingers Strength of pulse, thrill Auscultation Appear high-pitched bruit or sea-gull murmur (200 ~ 800 Hz) when stenosis occurs Angiography Ultrasound CT

Problems and Rationale Problems in AVF care Insufficient auscultation skill Subjective Depend on individual experience Insufficient manpower Lack of objectively computerized sound analysis

Purpose and Specific Aims Establishment of an auscultation system for the evaluation of arteriovenous fistula stenosis Hardware and software design Experimental testing
