Abstract
<p>[Background] Monitoring of sounds emanating from an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is of significant importance in clinical settings. The widespread use of smartphones, with over 80% of the Japanese population utilizing them, presents an opportunity to use their recording capabilities for this purpose. Certain smartphones, such as iOSⓇ, are equipped with a recording application that is accessible through the settings. This study explores the potential use of smartphones to monitor AVF sounds and their efficacy in clinical settings. [Method] AVF sounds were recorded pre- and post-percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) using smartphones. The recording was made by positioning the bottom of the smartphone above the anastomosis of the shunt or at the palpable thrill site. [Results] The AVF sounds of three patients were successfully recorded. The volume of the AVF sounds post-PTA was louder than that during pre-PTA. The sound quality was similar to that of auscultation. [ Conclusion] Smartphones may be a reliable alternative to stethoscopes for the auscultation of AVF sounds.</p>
