Abstract
VILLANUEVA BENDEK, Ignacio; RUIZ MARTINEZ, Mauricio and VELEZ-VERBEL, Maria. Early cannulation of native arteriovenous fistulas in hemodialysis. Case reports and literature review. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.1, pp.135-142. Epub Dec 12, 2020. ISSN 2500-5006. https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.7.1.331.
The native arteriovenous fistula (nAVF) is the ideal access in patients in hemodialysis, however, traditionally requires a period of maturation from its surgical construction that usually takes more than 8 weeks, exposing patients to a longer time with catheters; In this article, we describe 4 cases of early cannulation (<3 weeks) based on nursing staff expertise and ultrasound criteria.
Keywords : Vascular access; arteriovenous fistula; maturation; cannulation; renal insufficiency; ultrasound.
