Prospective Analysis of Arteriovenous Access (AVA) Use in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy: A Feasibility Project (NCT07447128)
Prospective Analysis of Arteriovenous Access Use in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, a Feasibility Project
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will test whether patients who already have a permanent dialysis access (an arteriovenous fistula or graft) can safely use that access for continuous dialysis (CRRT) while they are critically ill in the intensive care unit, instead of requiring a temporary central venous catheter. About 50 patients will participate. Researchers will monitor how well the access works, whether any complications occur, and whether there are differences between fistulas and grafts. The goal is to determine whether using a patient's existing dialysis access is a safe and practical option that could reduce the need for temporary catheters and their associated risks, such as infection and bleeding.
