Abstract

The safe management of hemorrhage from dialysis fistula is an important part of patient care under­going hemodialysis. Both the method and the time spent on effective hemostasis directly affect the or­ganization of nursing staff time in the dialysis center. This important element of nursing work also affects the transmission of cross-contamination by patients and staff. Trends in prolonged bleeding after hemo­dialysis have been associated with chronic renal disease and antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy. This article describes the physiology of hemostasis and current and alternative methods to ease hem­orrhage fistula bleeding after hemodialysis. In the present work, attention was also paid to our own experiences related to the use of modern Woundclot dressings in dialysis practice.
