Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |

| Improvement the surgical success rate of patients who performed the Doppler Ultrasound comparing to those who did not perform the preoperative exam. Being eliminated 100% of the negative operating (inadequate veins or arteries for doing surgery, which are seen only at the time of surgery, making impracticable the procedure) and improvement the surgical success rate of 10 to 15% in effectively completed surgery; surgical success being assessed by adequate dialysis over a period at least 6 months. | — |
Secondary
