Clinical Trial 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.


Description:

The repeated puncture of the AVF leads to a considerable degree of pain, due to the calibre and length of the bevel of fistula needles. When the fistula needle is removed, the small punctures that occur in the entrance area are closed with a thrombus. As a result, scar tissue forms in the entrance area and the surrounding skin, which can lead to the development of stenosis and aneurysm. For this reason, the needle conical tip direction is important in terms of delaying the loss of tissue elasticity and prolonging the use of the intervention area. There are very few studies investigating the effect of the conical tip being up or down on the pain that develops during cannulation in the patient.

Intervention

Other:
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.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change From Baseline Invasive Pain at 12 Dialysis Session It will be assessed three times at the end of the dialysis session with Visual Analogue. Pain intensity measured on a Visual Analog Scale with scores ranging from 0 - 10. Pain increases as the score increases. The high point describes bad outcome. At the end of the every dialysis session during one month (3 hemodialysis sessions are done every week)
Primary Change From Baseline Post-Puncture Bleeding at 12 Dialysis Session Bleeding time was defined as the time (minutes) from the moment the pressure was applied to the moment when the bleeding stopped after the fistula needle was removed. At the end of the every dialysis session during one month (3 hemodialysis sessions are done every week)
