Simulation-based Training for Nurses and Arteriovenous Fistula Puncture in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients

Description

Currently, the technique of arteriovenous fistula puncture is transmitted by companionship within hemodialysis units. Although the main principles of the technique are well known and common to all hemodialysis units, strong rationales are still lacking to standardize fine practices such as the relative position of the needles, the angle of attack of the needle at puncture, the position of the bevel at the time of puncture and once the needle is in the vascular lumen. The training of professionals using a simulation-based training program on the approach to arteriovenous fistula puncture, in a process of optimizing practices and continuous improvement of care, while respecting the principles of andragogy, seems to be a suitable tool. This program is built in a multi-professional team from nephrology, nursing and health simulation.
