I understand why you do not apply a BP cuff or tourniquet over a fistula; avoid circumferential compression. I also understand why you do not obtain IV access in the same extremity. But, why can't you obtain a blood draw via a butterfly in the hand, either with a tourniquet applied to the wrist or with no tourniquet at all.
The only sources I can find reference applying cuffs and tourniquets over the fistula.
