Nursing Care Report on a Maintenance Hemodialysis Patient with Arteriovenous Fistula Stenosis
To summarize the perioperative nursing experience in an elderly patient with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis complicated by hypertension and a history of cerebral infarction who underwent balloon dilatation.
Methods
2
The clinical data of the patient were retrospectively analyzed. The perioperative nursing care covered intraoperative management, volume control, hemodialysis coordination, prevention of restenosis, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing, psychological support, and continuity of care.
Results
2
After the procedure, the blood flow of the AVF increased from less than 200 mL/min preoperatively to 500–550 mL/min, the swelling of the left upper limb was largely resolved, no complications such as infection or falls occurred during hospitalization, and the patient's anxiety was alleviated.
Conclusion
2
For elderly patients with AVF stenosis complicated by multiple underlying diseases, the implementation of systematic perioperative nursing, combined with standardized assessment tools and appropriate TCM nursing techniques, can effectively promote the recovery of AVF function and enhance patients' self-management abilities.
