Özet

This prospective study compared methods using both arterial and venous needles with back eyes with those using only arterial needle with back eye for arteriovenous fistula cannulation. Sixty-one patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) via an arteriovenous fistula were evaluated. All patients underwent arteriovenous fistula puncture using only arterial needle with back eye in first 3 months and both arterial and venous needles with back eyes in following 3 months. Arterial and venous pressures, blood flow velocities, total blood volume cleared, and Kt/V values were compared. Mean blood flow velocity, arterial pressure, Kt/V, and cleared total blood volume values were higher and venous pressure was lower in patients who underwent cannulation using both needles with back eyes than in those with only the arterial needle with back eye. For arteriovenous fistula cannulation, using both arterial and venous needles with back eyes provides adequate HD more successfully.
