Wcn25-3998 Predicting Vascular Access Angioplasty Success or Failure With a Digital Stethoscope

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Conclusions:In conclusion, the overall CRBSI rates with TCC were notably low at 1.04 per 1000 catheter days, which is an improvement compared to previous Indian studies.Group A achieved an even lower CRBSI incidence of 0.90 per 1000 catheter days.This demonstrates that it is possible to achieve CRBSI rates of less than 1 per 1000 catheter days, similar to those in high-income countries, by adhering to higher standards of care with simple interventions-such as having two persons for starting and ending dialysis and following the 'scrubthehub' protocol before catheter use-for better outcomes.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
