Abstract:
Serious hemodialysis therapy complications are venous needle dislodgement and access-bloodline separation. In 2020, the American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) brought together a task force to update the information and resources developed by the 2012 ANNA Venous Needle Dislodgement Task Force along with the development of additional resources, if needed. The 2020-2021 ANNA Venous Needle Dislodgement Task Force conducted a literature review, requested information from ANNA members, and tested taping techniques. This article discusses the results of the literature review, information requests, and taping technique testing, and provides resources on venous needle dislodgement and access-bloodline dislodgement, along with practice recommendations.
