Dialysis efficacy and pain levels in relation to cannulation distance using the buttonhole technique
Abstract Objective In this study, we investigated whether there was any difference in pain and dialysis efficacy when patients who initially entered dialysis with the rope ladder technique were switched to the buttonhole technique. Methods We reduced the space between needles and examined the effect...

| description | Abstract Objective In this study, we investigated whether there was any difference in pain and dialysis efficacy when patients who initially entered dialysis with the rope ladder technique were switched to the buttonhole technique. Methods We reduced the space between needles and examined the effects on access blood flow rate, dialysis efficacy, and pain levels with BH technique. Forty-four patients participated, 25with dialysis needles placed 5–7 cm apart using the BH technique, and 19 with needles placed 7–10 cm apart. Results There was a significant reduction in the pain sensation in both groups from patients who passed the rope ladder technique to the buttonhole technique from the onset to the sixth month. There was no difference in dialysis efficacy between the patients who passed the lope ladder technique to the buttonhole technique; also, there was no difference in the dialysis efficacy compared to the needle entry interval in two groups of patients who were dialyzed with the BH technique. Discussion The BH technique continues to attract interest due to its dramatically reduced pain levels compared to the RL technique and no difference in dialysis efficacy. |
