Hemodialysis vascular access coordinator: Three‐level model for access management
Sousa, Clemente Neves; Teles, Paulo; Sousa, Rui; Cabrita, Filipa; Ribeiro, Olga; Delgado, Elisabete; Coutinho, Sara; Moura, Sandra Cristina MendoManagement of vascular access is a challenge for the dialysis team, particularly tokeep the arteriovenous access working. The vascular access coordinator can posi-tively contribute to increase the number of arteriovenous fistulas and reduce centralvenous catheters. In this article, we introduce a new approach to vascular accessmanagement centered on (the results of setting up) the role of vascular access coor-d...
How to choose the appropriate cannulation technique for vascular access in hemo...
Sousa, Clemente Neves; Teles, Paulo; Ribeiro, Olga; Sousa, Rui; Lira, Marta Nunes; Delgado, Elisabete; Oliveira, Debora; Campos, Luís; Fernandes, FilipaThe cannulation technique is important for the survival of the arteriovenous access. Choosing the appropriate technique is a complex decision. Such choice must be customized to patients, considering their characteristics, the type of arteriovenous access and the experience of the hemodialysis team. We describe seven items that can help nurses to identify the appropriate cannulation technique: type of arterioven...
Maintaining Vascular Access Response in a Severely COVID-19 Hit Country
Castro, João Diogo; Almeida, Paulo; Sousa, Clemente; Teles, Paulo; De Matos, NortonIntroduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption in healthcare systems worldwide, and Portugal was no exception. We analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in activity of our Vascular Access Center (Grupo Estudos Vasculares - GEV).

Radio‐cephalic fistula recovered with drainage to median basilic vein by straig...
Costa, Luísa Lemos; Matos, António Norton; Almeida, Paulo; Teles, Paulo; Loureiro, Luís; Campos, Luís; Delgado, Elisabete; Oliveira, DeboraThe distal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has less complications and better patency than the proximal fistula, when it works properly. The complications of outflow of the fistula are complex, and it is necessary to analyze all solutions to solve the problem. We introduce a novel approach to solve outflow problems of a radio-cephalic AVF by straightening of the forearm cephalic vein with drainage into the median ba...

Effects of demographic and clinical character on differences in self‐care behav...
Sousa, Clemente Neves; Teles, Paulo; Paquete, Ana Rita Cabral; Dias, Vanessa Filipa Ferreira; Manzini, Carlene Souza Silva; Nicole, Andressa GarciaIntroduction: Hemodialysis (HD) patients should be trained to develop selfcare behaviors in order to prevent and preserve their arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The aim of this study was identifying the factors that affect the levels of self-care behavior with AVF by HD patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 89 patients. Results: Self-care levels were negatively affected by patients' loc...
Scale of Assessment of Self-Care Behaviors with Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemodi...
Lira, Marta Nunes; Sousa, Clemente Neves; Wanderley, Maria Carolina Medeiros; Pessoa, Natália Ramos Costa; Lemos, Kelly Cristiane RochaThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Scale for the Assessment of Self-Care Behaviors with Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemodialysis. Cross-sectional validation study, followed the recommendation provided by Sousa and Rojjanasrirat. Content validity, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses used to check validity and Cronbach's alpha was the reliability measure. ...
