Fistula hand can take pulse rate, could it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulse: I assume you're asking if you can take the pulse rate in the radial artery of an upper extremity of a patient that has an AV fistula in it. The answer is yes but you can get confused if the diastolic flow produces what feels like a double impulse.
