Guideline III.5 A. Shear stress-related problems/haemolysis can be prevented by: the use of large needles/cannulae (14/15 gauge);the application of an optimal relationship between dialyzer blood flow and access diameter;the prevention of highly negative arterial pressure alarms (exceeding 150 mmHg);the correct positioning of cannulae and needles in the access system;the correct positioning of tubings in the roller pumps;minimizing recirculation;the maintenance of vascular access systems in anatomically correct condition.
