Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) can safely insert central venous catheters (CVC) for hemodialysis. Outcomes like catheter longevity and infection rates showed no significant difference compared to nephrology medical teams.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Access
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) are expanding their roles in interventional procedures.
  • Central venous catheters (CVCs) are crucial for hemodialysis access.
  • The efficacy and safety of ANP-led CVC insertion require evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of central venous catheter (CVC) insertion performed by Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) versus a nephrology medical team.
  • To assess the safety and effectiveness of ANP-performed CVC insertions for hemodialysis.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study comparing 117 CVC insertions by ANPs and 172 by a nephrology medical team over two years.
  • Statistical analysis using Mann Whitney and Chi-Squared tests to compare outcomes.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Outcomes assessed included CVC longevity, reasons for removal, and infection rates (exit site and systemic).

    • Main Results:

    • No statistically significant differences were found between the ANP and nephrology medical team groups.
    • CVC longevity, elective and non-elective removal rates, and infection rates (exit site and systemic) were comparable.
    • This indicates similar performance and safety profiles between the two groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) demonstrate comparable proficiency to nephrology medical teams in inserting central venous catheters (CVCs) for hemodialysis.
    • ANP-led CVC insertion is a safe and effective practice, contributing to patient care and potentially expanding procedural capabilities within nursing roles.
    • The findings support the integration and development of ANP roles in vascular access procedures.
