What are the 4 methods of vascular access?

4 Types of Dialysis Access

• Central venous catheter (CVC)
• Arteriovenous fistula (AV Fistula)
• Arteriovenous graft (AV Graft)

What is the preferred vascular access for dialysis?

arteriovenous fistula
A well-functioning vascular access (VA) is a mainstay to perform an efficient hemodialysis (HD) procedure. There are three main types of access: native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft, and central venous catheter (CVC). AVF, described by Brescia and Cimino, remains the first choice for chronic HD.

When does the new KDOQI guideline come out?

On March 13, 2020, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) released the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Clinical Practice Guideline for Vascular Access: 2019 Update.

What are the guidelines for NKF KDOQI research?

Research Recommendations Guideline 1. Patient Preparation for Permanent Hemodialysis Access Guideline 2. Selection and Placement of Hemodialysis Access Guideline 3. Cannulation of Fistulae and Grafts and Accession of Hemodialysis Catheters and Port Catheter Systems Guideline 4.

Who are the leaders of the KDOQI initiative?

This group provides overall direction and ongoing guidance to the KDOQI initiative. They interact closely with project work groups and work group chairs, preside over KDOQI meetings, and serve as KDOQI spokespeople. KDOQI is currently working on several projects, from creating new guidelines to updating existing guidelines.
