Impact of the Arteriovenous Fistula Puncture Technique On the Hemodialysis Session For Patient and Caregiver

Poissy-Saint Germain Hospital42 enrolled

Overview

40000 patients are hemodialysis each year in France . In the case of chronic care, 78% of patients have an arteriovenous fistula. In order to perform the hemodialysis session, 2 techniques of puncture of the fistula are possible: * Bevel puncture upwards then flipping the needle * or puncture bevel down. At present, there is no consensus or study on the technique of puncture fistula which generates different professional practices.

pucture in the arteriovenous fistulaDEVICE

The compression time will be measured with a stopwatch so that it is objective and accurate, although the compression times range from minute to minute. An initial 2-week observation phase (phase 1) will establish a reference time for each patient using the most common puncture technique in the department: bevel up. We will evaluate the patient's reference time by counting the time of compression using a stopwatch for 2 weeks (ie 6 sessions) and we will take an average. A draw will determine for each patient the order in which the direction of the needles will be used. After this determination of the reference time, the patient will enter two successive phases where it will be punctured bevel up (phase 2) and then down (phase 3) or vice versa following the draw.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Compression time required for hemostasis

The primary endpoint is the compression time required for hemostasis after needle removal, which is stable over a 3-week period. The compression time will be measured with a stopwatch so that it is objective and accurate, although the compression times range from minute to minute. An initial 2-week observation phase (phase 1) will establish a reference time for each patient using the most common puncture technique in the department: bevel up. We will evaluate the patient's reference time by counting the time of compression using a stopwatch for 2 weeks (ie 6 sessions) and we will take an average. A draw will determine for each patient the order in which the direction of the needles will be used. After this determination of the reference time, the patient will enter two successive phases where it will be tapped bevel up (phase 2) and then down (phase 3) or vice versa following the draw.

Time frame: period of 3 weeks
