Abstract:
Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP) are developing their role in order to insert temporary and permanent central venous catheters to facilitate haemodialysis. Two hundred and eighty-nine central venous catheters (CVC) were inserted over a two-year period. The ANP inserted 117 CVC with 172 CVC inserted by the nephrology medical team. Using non-parametric independent two-group comparison Mann Whitney test and Chi-Squared test, the two groups were compared for specific outcomes. When comparing both groups with respect to CVC longevity, elective and non-elective removal along with infection (exit site and systemic) no statistical difference between the ANP and the nephrology medical staff could be found.
