| Summary: | Temporary Venous Access (TVA) is commonly used for patients with chronic renal failure
when the vascular access is immature or dysfunction and patients who need for acute
hemodialysis (HD) treatment. The objective of this study is to determine the occurrence of
TVA complication, the types and its impact on quality of life among HD patients. A cross sectional
survey was conducted within two months period on 52 patients HD patients with
TVA who underwent hemodialysis treatment in Hemodialysis Unit at Hospital USM.
Altogether, there were 19 males and 33 female respondents involved in this study with
median age of 50 years that were selected through convenient sampling method. Most of
respondent had internal jugular catheter (78.8%) and the used of TVA in situ was within
four to six months. All patients had experienced TVA complication that caused removal of
the catheter. Complications of the catheter were catheter associated bloodstream infection
38.5%, catheter thrombosis 36.5% and catheter insufficient blood flow 25%. However, all
these complication had no impact on respondents' quality of life. The occurrence of TVA
complication among HD patients in this study was I OO%. Further study on larger sample
size is required to ratify these findings. |
