The risks of vascular access [PDF]

Kidney International, 2012
Fatal vascular access hemorrhage is considered a rare complication of hemodialysis (HD). Ellingson et al. indicate otherwise, and their data suggest that it causes 0.4-1.6% of deaths in US HD patients. It is more common with grafts than fistulas, and many victims have had previous access hemorrhages.

Idle peripheral intravenous cannulation: an observational cohort study of pre-hospital and emergency department practices

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Unused ('idle') peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) are those not used within 24 hours of insertion. There is little data on cannulation practices and idle PIVC rates in emergency settings, especially the pre-hospital environment.

Needle-free connectors in tunneled central venous catheters for hemodialysis: A prospective single-centre safety and feasibility study

GMS Hygiene and Infection Control
Background: Tunnelled central venous catheters (t-CVCs) remain essential for hemodialysis when arteriovenous access is not feasible, but catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a major risk.
