Abstract

Objective: Chronic kidney disease is an important public health problem. Low clearance polyclinics are important for protecting patients from chronic kidney disease progression and complications. The readiness of arteriovenous fistulas of patients who decide to undergo hemodialysis for renal replacement therapies protects patients from catheter complications. This study was planned to evaluate the arteriovenous fistula care training of patients with proper working arteriovenous fistula and who did not undergo hemodialysis in the low clearance outpatient clinic and to rearrange their follow-up and training. Method: In this study, a total of 23 of 20 patients who accepted to enter the study and who came for control visit between 1 - 30 June 2019 were included. They were followed up in the nephrology low clearance polyclinic of a university hospital in Antalya due to chronic kidney disease and chose hemodialysis as the decision of renal replacement treatment, did not undergo hemodialysis and had a proper working arteriovenous fistula. Results: 80% of the patients included in the study were male. The median of the stage 5 chronic kidney disease follow-up time was 16 months (min: 2-max: 156), the median of the follow-up time with arteriovenous fistula was 11 months (min: 2 max: 156), and the median of the glomerular filtration rate was 10.90 ml/min (min: 7 - max: 15.90). Four (20%) of the arteriovenous fistulas were formed for the second time. The arteriovenous fistula was in the active arm in two patients, these patients were those who had a second-time arteriovenous fistula. The patients' actions to control and protect their fistulas were found to be sufficient but knowledge about the effects of temperature changes and low blood pressure on the fistula was inadequate. Conclusion: The patients who have not yet undergone hemodialysis may not be aware of the importance of properly working arteriovenous fistula. In these patients group; these pieces of training should be reinforced with printed educational brochures for providing training on the care and protection of arteriovenous fistula. Patients whose arteriovenous fistulas have been formulated before and are followed up ready should be routinely examined every month, their arteriovenous fistulas should be checked during the examination and training control forms should be created for arteriovenous fistula protection.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik böbrek hastalığı, önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Hastaların kronik böbrek hastalığı progresyonları ve komplikasyonlarından korunması açısından düşük klirens poliklinikleri önemlidir. Renal replasman tedavilerinden hemodiyalize girmeye karar veren hastaların arteriyovenöz fistüllerinin hazır olarak diyalize geçmeleri hastaları ka teter komplikasyonlarından korur. Bu çalışma; düşük klirens polikliniğinde arteriyovenöz fistülü hazır, hemodiyalize girmeyen hastalara verilen arteriyovenöz fistül bakım eğitimlerini değerlendirmek, eğitim eksiklerini tespit edip; takip ve eğitimlerinin yeniden düzenlenmesi amacıyla planlandı. Gereç-Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya Antalya’da bir üniversite hastanesinin nefroloji düşük klirens polikliniğinde kronik böbrek hastalığı nedeniyle takipte olan ve renal replasman tedavi kararı olarak hemodiyalizi seçmiş, hemodiyalize girmeyen ve arteriyovenöz fistülü hazır bekleyen; 1-30 Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında kontrole gelen 23 hastadan çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan toplam 20 hasta dahil edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların %80’i erkek cinsiyette idi. Evre 5 takip süreleri ortancası 16 ay (min:2-max:156), arteriyovenöz fistül takip süreleri ortancası 11 ay (min:2 max:156) ve arteriyovenöz fistül açtırma kararı verildiğinde glomerüler filtrasyon hızı ortancası 10,90 ml/dk (min:7-max:15,90) olduğu tespit edildi. Arteriyovenöz fistül, iki hastada aktif kullandığı kolda olup; bu hastalarda, ikinci kez arteriyovenöz fistül açılmıştı. Hastaların fistüllerinin kontrolü ve korunması konularında yapması gereken davranışları yeterli bulundu. Isı değişimlerinin ve hipotansiyon durumunun fistülü etkilemesi ile ilgili bilgi düzeyleri ise yetersiz bulundu. Sonuç: Henüz hemodiyalize girmeyen hastalar, açılan arteriyovenöz fistülün öneminin farkında olmayabilirler. Bu hasta grubunda; arteriyovenöz fistül bakımı ile korunması hakkında eğitim verilip, basılı eğitim broşürleri ile bu eğitimler pekiştirilmelidir. Arteriyovenöz fistülü açılmış hazır şekilde takip edilen hastaların her ay rutin muayeneleri yapılmalı, muayene sırasında arteriyovenöz fistülü kontrol edilmeli ve arteriyovenöz fistülün korunması için eğitim kontrol formlarının oluşturulması önerilir.
