Improving vascular access outcomes: attributes of arteriovenous fistula cannulation success.
BACKGROUND Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred access for hemodialysis (HD) yet they are underutilized. Cannulation of the fistula is a procedure requiring significant skill development and refinement and if not done well can have negative consequences for patients. The nurses' approach, attitude and skill with cannulation impacts greatly on the patient experience. Complications fro...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided cannulation of hemodialysis access
Because hemodialysis therapy cannot be performed without the cannulation of a vascular access, establishing a well-functioning vascular access is crucial. Recently, the number of patients with difficult arteriovenous (AV) fistula cannulation has increased due to changes in the epidemiology of the dialysis population. To address this issue, indications for real-time ultrasound-guided techniques ...
متن کاملVascular access use and outcomes: an international perspective from the dialysis outcomes and practice patterns study
BACKGROUND A well-functioning vascular access (VA) is essential to efficient dialysis therapy. Guidelines have been implemented improving care, yet access use varies widely across countries and VA complications remain a problem. This study took advantage of the unique opportunity to utilize data from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) to examine international trends in VA...
متن کاملStatin therapy is not associated with improved vascular access outcomes.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Neointimal hyperplasia is the major cause of vascular access failure in hemodialysis patients. Statins reduce neointimal hyperplasia in experimental models, which may reduce access failure. The study presented here evaluated whether vascular access outcomes are superior in patients receiving statin therapy than in those not on statins. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, ...
متن کاملOutcomes of Elderly Patients after Predialysis Vascular Access Creation.
Uniform vascular access guidelines for elderly patients may be inappropriate because of the competing risk of death, high rate of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure, and poor vascular access outcomes in this population. However, the outcomes in elderly patients with advanced CKD who receive permanent vascular access before dialysis initiation are unclear. We identified a large natio...
