Increasing use of the internal A-V fistula for hemodialysis calls for re-emphasis of details of the original technic described by Brescia, Cimino et al. Needles should be well separated, even sometimes with a tourniquet between them to avoid possible mixing of outlet with inlet blood. Needles should not be less than 14 gauge (thin wall), with maximum blood pumping speed not over 250-275 ml/min to avoid trauma to vessels, and risk of air leaks in the blood circuit.
