Optimal volume for the draw-and-return methods to enhance activated partial thromboplastin time ratio accuracy in hemodialysis patients with central venous catheters

Background: Significant errors of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ratio were frequently observed in blood sampling from central venous dialysis catheter (CVC) of hemodialysis (HD) patients. Following the draw-and-return methods, initial blood withdrawal from the catheter before sampling...
