Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objective: To discuss the nursing experiences related to the application of arteriovenous fistulas with artificial blood vessels in diabetic nephropathy patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.Methods: We summarized the clinical data of 32 diabetic nephropathy patients who underwent the creation of arteriovenous fistulas using artificial blood vessels in our department from June 2022 to June 2024.The key nursing points included postoperative use and care, prevention and management of complications, and provision of humanistic care and psychological support.Results: Among the 32 patients, 31 did not develop complications related to the artificial blood vessel fistulas.The blood vessels remained unobstructed, with a loud thrill, and easy puncture during dialysis.One patient experienced a weakened thrill at the fistula site within 72 hours, but the affected area was small.The doctor was informed and took active measures, resulting in a gradual recovery of the thrill.Conclusion: For diabetic nephropathy patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistulas created using artificial blood vessels, it is crucial for nurses to master the correct use and care of the artificial blood vessel fistulas and to prevent complications.Emphasizing humanistic care and psychological nursing can prolong the lifespan of the fistulas and enhance the quality of life for patients.
