Impact of the Arteriovenous Fistula Puncture Technique On the Hemodialysis Session For Patient and Caregiver

November 21, 2017 updated by: Valérie LOIZEAU, Poissy-Saint Germain Hospital

40000 patients are hemodialysis each year in France .

In the case of chronic care, 78% of patients have an arteriovenous fistula. In order to perform the hemodialysis session, 2 techniques of puncture of the fistula are possible:

  • Bevel puncture upwards then flipping the needle
  • or puncture bevel down. At present, there is no consensus or study on the technique of puncture fistula which generates different professional practices.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
42

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient in chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis with native arteriovenous fistula as a vascular approach.
  • Adult of age and sex indifferent.
  • Normal puncture of the fistula with two needles (bipuncture).
  • Fistula use for more than 3 months.
  • Beneficiary of Medicare or State Medical Aid.
  • No opposition to participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient who does not speak and does not understand French.
  • Hemodialysis patient awaiting a transplant by a living donor.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: puncture bevel up
Device: pucture in the arteriovenous fistula

The compression time will be measured with a stopwatch so that it is objective and accurate, although the compression times range from minute to minute.

An initial 2-week observation phase (phase 1) will establish a reference time for each patient using the most common puncture technique in the department: bevel up.

We will evaluate the patient's reference time by counting the time of compression using a stopwatch for 2 weeks (ie 6 sessions) and we will take an average.

A draw will determine for each patient the order in which the direction of the needles will be used.

After this determination of the reference time, the patient will enter two successive phases where it will be punctured bevel up (phase 2) and then down (phase 3) or vice versa following the draw.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Compression time required for hemostasis
Time Frame: period of 3 weeks

The primary endpoint is the compression time required for hemostasis after needle removal, which is stable over a 3-week period.

The compression time will be measured with a stopwatch so that it is objective and accurate, although the compression times range from minute to minute. An initial 2-week observation phase (phase 1) will establish a reference time for each patient using the most common puncture technique in the department: bevel up. We will evaluate the patient's reference time by counting the time of compression using a stopwatch for 2 weeks (ie 6 sessions) and we will take an average. A draw will determine for each patient the order in which the direction of the needles will be used. After this determination of the reference time, the patient will enter two successive phases where it will be tapped bevel up (phase 2) and then down (phase 3) or vice versa following the draw.
