Abstract

Access remains the most challenging component of dialysis care. The risk of developing a serious bloodstream infection that necessitated admission to the intensive care unit was highest among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. One of the main causes of hospital acquired infections is recognized to be central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), which can result in life-threatening complications, which account for about 80,000 cases annually from patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). If non-ICU patients are also included, this number will increase significantly. According to reports, 25% of deaths from infectious diseases are attributable to CLABSIs.  To assess the dialysis access that is safe and can reduce the risk of infection. Documenting dialysis events is the study's secondary goal.
