Abstract:
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing intervention on AVF in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis. Patients (n = 84) with CKD who underwent the first autologous AVF were randomly divided into control group and multidisciplinary collaborative nursing intervention (MCNI) group and they received routine nursing procedure and multidisciplinary collaborative nursing intervention procedure, respectively. The natural blood flow and vessel diameter in MCNI group were higher than that in control group at the fourth week after surgery (p < .05). The vessel diameter in MCNI group at 2 and 4 weeks after operation was significantly larger than that in control group (p < .05).In conclusions, the implementation of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing intervention procedure can significantly promote the maturation of AVF, effectively increase the blood flow of AVF and promote the growth of vessel diameter.
