Definition
Hemodialysis (HD) – removing chemical substances and water from the blood by passing it through an artificial kidney (dialyzer)

Additional Results and Suggestions for Future Care Trampoline effect: 20.7%
Longer time with initial needler Revert to sharps PRN
Infection: Increased from 2.1% to 6.9% Continue to monitor/update protocols Treat with Antibiotics
Staff Scheduling Dedicated staff

Qualitative Findings - Staff
Interesting. Positive feedback from clients. Can see long term benefits. The positives are obvious when viewing a fistula that has a BH!
I think it’s important for the same person to needle at least 3 weeks and maybe a little longer for sharps.

Qualitative Findings - Patients
Time to stop bleeding is getting shorter. I find that it (needling) is not as painful. I have to revert to sharps because blunt needles
and the trampoline effect can be really painful.
