Abstract:

Objective:To analyze the vascular access and its complications in hemodialysis (HD) patients in our center.
Methodology:Patients receiving maintence hemodialysis therapy in our center were included in this study.
Results:294 patients were enrolled in our study including 189 males (643%) and 105 females (357%) aged 532±151 years, and their dialysis duration was 03 to 32 years.Initial access was noncuffed temporary catheters in 235 patients (799%) and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in 56 patients(190%). As to vascular access in maintenance hemodialysis stage, the use rate of AVF in patients with HD was 918% and tunneled cuffed catheter was 61%. Central venous access was preferentially obtained in the internal jugular vein, and the result of catheterrelated infections was 052/1 000 catheter days in noncuffed temporary catheters. The main creation site of AVF is radiocephalic fistula (754%).
Conclusion:
In this crosssectional study, we found the initial vascular access was mainly noncuffed temporary catheter, and the mainly use of vascular access is AVF at present. Central venous access is preferentially obtained in the internal jugular vein and has a low rate of catheterrelated infections. The main creation site of AVF is radiocephalic fistula.
