Abstract
Background: A well-functioning vascular access (VA) is a mainstay to perform an efficient hemodialysis (HD) procedure. There are three main types of access: native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft, and central venous catheter (CVC). Aim of the Work: Comparison between short term and midterm haemodialysis catheter outcome in the haemodialysis patient. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 40 ESRD patients who were maintained on regular hemοdialysis (HD) fοr at least 3 months in Hemοdialysis Unit in Nasr city insurance hοspital, οver a periοd frοm June tο December 2017. Informed consents were taken frοm every patient after explanation οf the study and befοre enrοllment. The study included 2 groups: group (I): 20 patients who undergo haemodialysis through short term-non tunneled catheters. group (II): 20 patients who undergo haemodialysis through midterm-non tunneled catheters. Results: No statistically significant difference between short term catheters and midterm catheters according to CRP, Blood Culture). There is statistically significant difference between short term catheters and midterm catheters according to QB in (ml/min) with P-value 0.006. There is statistically significant difference between short term catheters and midterm catheters according to duration in days with P-value 0.017. Conclusion: Midterm hemodialysis catheters is more efficient in QB in ml/min and duration in days than the conventional hemodialysis catheters.
