About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Arteriovenous Fistula, Cannulation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • End-stage renal disease with new arteriovenous fistula being started for cannulation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • End-stage renal disease with grafts

Sites / Locations

  • GHS West pavilion dialysis center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

No Intervention

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Standard cannulation

Ultrasound guided cannulation

Arm Description

The standard cannulation protocol of the center was defined as using 17 gauge needles for the first 3 dialysis sessions, followed by 16 gauge for the next 3, and finally 15 gauge for subsequent sessions.

The study protocol involved similar up titration of needle size over a 3-week period, except that a pre-cannulation evaluation of the fistula was performed using the Sonic Window ultrasound device. The device was used to evaluate and identify the optimal site of cannulation (image 1). Depending upon the cannulator's preference, real-time guidance could be employed during cannulation (image 2, 3). The cannulations were performed by 4 selected personnel trained in device use and successfully completed a competency evaluation on simulator models and a mature dialysis fistula.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

infiltration due to dialysis access cannulation
Infiltration is the extravasation of blood from fistula due to problems with needle insertion into fistula for dialysis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

patient comfort
Measured using a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most severe pain

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Infiltrations from cannulation difficulties result in significant morbidity including loss of vascular access (VA) loss in hemodialysis (HD). Cannulation is reliant on personnel skill and VA characteristics. Surface marking of VA lacks real-time information and traditional ultrasound (US) devices are large, expensive and require skilled operator expertise. Sonic Window© (Analogic Ultrasound, Peabody, MA) is a coronal mode ultrasound device (CMUD) approved for VA cannulation. Study is a single center randomized, prospective pilot study comparing handheld US-guided cannulation of new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) to standard cannulation practices.
