No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A patient with an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) receiving chronic hemodialysis (HD) treatment is cannulated 312 times a year on average. The patients cannot comply with dialysis treatment and the quality of life is decreased by pain when the fistula cannot be accessed with a single attempt. Sharp pain depends on the tear in the skin, the tissue where the sensitive nerve ends receptive to pain are located, and it is particularly important during AVF puncture. Also, punctures are accompanied by haemorrhages and frequent loss of blood.

Conditions

  • Pain
  • Bleeding Time
  • Arteriovenous Fistula

Interventions

Bevel Position

During 6 dialysis sessions, cannulation was applied to the patients with the direction of the arterial needle in the antegrade direction and the conical tip facing upwards. In the next 6 dialysis sessions, cannulation was applied to the patients in an antegrade direction and with the conical tip facing down.
