Background: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. Four different cannulation techniques can be used: Rope Ladder (RL), Buttonhole (BH), Multiple Single cannulation Technique (MuST), or Area Puncture (AP). Objective: To build and validate a decision-making instrument for the optimal AVF cannulation technique in hemodialysis. Methodology: This two-stage methodological study using the Delphi method was conducted between October 2021 and February 2022 with 27 experts. The decision-making instrument for choosing the cannulation technique was divided into four blocks: physical assessment, ultrasound assessment, vascular access graphical representation, and observations. The content validity index ≥ 0.90 was used in the analysis. Results: The instrument's structure obtained the unanimous agreement of the experts and an overall content validity index of 0.94. Conclusion: The instrument under analysis proved to have the face and content validity for nursing consultatio [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hemodialysis sector is a complex environment that requires actions to ensure the safety of patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. Thus, this article aims to report the interventions performed by nursing students on aspects of patient safety in hemodialysis. It is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach of the experience report type. Nursing interventions were carried out by two nursing students in hemodialysis clinics. The interventions were carried out through permanent education on the nursing records and health education on the care with vascular accesses. Permanent educations were carried out with nursing technicians on the importance and the correct note of nursing. While health education was developed for patients with the aid of educational material and individualized guidance. It is concluded that these two interventions generated reflections on patient safety on dialysis, as well as improved this practice through simple actions that positively impacted both professionals and patients.

Introdution: The immunosuppressive state of patients with CKD increases their risk of developing poor clinical outcomes if they acquire COVID-19 infection. Objective: To identify the scientific evidence about the repercussions of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted in this study. The databases Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, and Virtual Health Library were searched to identify relevant studies. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the adapted Downs and Black checklist. The review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines. Results: A total of 16 articles were included after the screening process. All articles had a methodological quality higher than 66.8%. The most common repercussions of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients were the increased mortality rate (75%), development of typical signs and symptoms of the disease such as fever, cough, dyspnea, and fatigue (68.75%), lymphopenia (68.75%), progression to severe acute respiratory syndrome (56.25%), need for mechanical ventilation (50%), and admission to intensive (50%). Conclusions: The hemodialysis patients are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection and, when infected by SARS-CoV-2, these patients have more adverse clinical outcomes, more serious diseases, higher mortality, and worse prognosis than the general population. The repercussions of COVID-19 in hemodialysis patients reveal a need for preventive nursing care in hemodialysis clinics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: There are still several barriers against establishing exercise routines in regular dialysis treatments despite their well-known benefits. Developing cost-effective strategies is necessary to overcome these barriers and include exercise as a complement to dialysis treatment. Nurses play a central role in these units; therefore, examining adherence may be interesting to make exercise implementation easier. Methods: 71 subjects were randomized either into an intradialytic or a home exercise program. They did exercise for 16 weeks. Nurses ran the intradialytic exercise program and the home exercise program was autonomous. The total number of sessions carried out was recorded in order to obtain the levels of adherence to the exercise. Results: In the intradialytic exercise group, 25% of participants showed low adherence; 50% had medium adherence, and 25%, high adherence. In the home group, 49% showed low adherence; 9% exhibited medium adherence, and 42%, high adherence. Conclusions: There are higher levels of adherence in the intradialytic group when compared to the home group, but the levels of high adherence were more significant in the home group, showing a greater impact in those with low adherence.

OBJECTIVE To measure the pleasure and suffering indicators at work and relate them to the socio-demographic and employment characteristics of the nursing staff in a hemodialysis center in southern Brazil. METHOD Quantitative research, with 46 workers. We used a self-completed form with demographic and labor data and the Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale (PSIWS). We conducted a bivariate and correlation descriptive analysis with significance levels of 5% using the Epi-Info® and PredictiveAnalytics Software programs. RESULTS Freedom of Speech was considered critical; other factors were evaluated as satisfactory. The results revealed a possible association between sociodemographic characteristics and work, and pleasure and suffering indicators. There was a correlation between the factors evaluated. CONCLUSION Despite the satisfactory evaluation, suffering is present in the studied context, expressed mainly by a lack of Freedom of Speech, with the need for interventions to prevent injury to the health of workers.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the conformity of the assistential practice in the maintenance of the temporary double-lumen catheter for hemodialysis, by means of the use of the process indicator, in the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo. METHOD: a quantitative, exploratory-descriptive and observational study. The sample was made up of 155 observations of persons with temporary double-lumen catheters, in the period March - November 2011, using the Indicator of the Maintenance of the Temporary Double Lumen Catheter for Hemodialysis. RESULTS: the rate of general conformity of the assistential practice corresponded to 65.8%. Of the practice's 13 components, 9 (69.2%) attained 100% conformity. The hygienization of hands by the professionals and the use of a mask by the patients during the disconnection from the hemodialysis had the worst rates (83.9%). CONCLUSION: although the actions evaluated are implemented in the unit, it is necessary to propose and apply educational strategies with the health team, as well as to institute periodical assessments, so as to raise the conformity rates, ensuring the quality of the hemodialysis services.

The objective of this study was to identify the nursing diagnoses of the safety/protection domain in the NANDA-I Taxonomy II and propose nursing interventions and activities based on the Nursing interventions Classification (NIC) for chronic renal patients undergoing hemodialysis. Diagnoses present in at least 75% of the sample were analyzed, corresponding to 25 patients hospitalized in Fortaleza- Ceará-Brazil in 2014/2015. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committees of the State University of Ceará and the General Hospital of Fortaleza under Opinion nº 392.488 and CAAE: 19640613.2.0000.5534. Five high-risk nursing diagnoses present in 100% of the simple were selected. Some of the interventions and activities proposed for the diagnosis of risk of infections were infection control and adequate cleaning of the environment after the its use for each patient. The identified diagnoses are all related to risks. This calls attention to the role of nurses in preventive actions with patients and professionals, as they are responsible for the success of the treatment. Also, the knowledge of these professionals and their interventions and activities provide a scientific basis for evidence-based discussions. Finally, the research is relevant for its contributions to nursing/health care actions to patients/users undergoing hemodialysis treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: verify the association between socioeconomic and clinical characteristics and the factors associated with a diagnosis of fluid volume deficit risk in patients who are on hemodialysis. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study done at the dialysis unit of a university hospital in northeastern Brazil. Featuring 50 patients, it was conducted through interviews and physical examinations. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to analyze the data. Results: A number of significant associations were verified; namely, knowledge deficit and hemodialysis time (p = 0.037); weight extremes and family income (p = 0.040); weight extremes and ultrafiltration volume (p = 0.010), and fluid loss through abnormal pathways and ultrafiltration volume (p = 0.000). Conclusions: Associations were identified between the factors associated with a nursing diagnosis of fluid volume deficit risk and the socioeconomic and clinical characteristics of patients who are undergoing hemodialysis. The factors associated with that diagnosis can be influenced by socioeconomic characteristics and clinical aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os cuidados dos clientes em tratamento hemodialítico com o local da punção para a preservação da fístula arteriovenosa. Estudo qualitativo, descritivo-exploratório, que incluiu 17 clientes do Hospital Universitário (RJ) com doença renal crônica de qualquer etiologia, maiores de 18 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos, tendo como acesso a fístula arteriovenosa há, no mínimo, seis meses. Como resultados, obteve-se que 100% dos entrevistados conhecem a necessidade de cuidar e manter a via de punção pérvia; 42% já tiveram algum tipo de intercorrência na fístula, destacando-se a dor no membro e a perda do frêmito; 29% realizam compressa de gelo em casa, após a hemodiálise; 17% afirmaram que, a qualquer acontecimento diferente ou anormal, conversam com a equipe médica e de enfermagem. Concluiu-se que a enfermeira que orienta o cliente para a preservação do acesso necessita perceber indícios não verbais que apontem fragilidades no desempenho de papéis para o autocuidado.identificar cuáles son los cuidados que reciben los clientes en tratamiento de hemodiálisis con local de punción para la preservación de la fistula arteriovenosa.
