Application comparison of temporary pipe in internal jugular vein and versus femoral vein for hemodialysis

Objective To compare the application of temporary pipe in internal jugular vein versus femoral vein for hemodialysis.Methods One hundred and thirty-five patients with temporary pipe in femoral vein (76 cases) and versus internal jugular vein (48 cases) underwent hemodialysis,parameters regarding catheter indwelling time,catheter use times,blood flow,Kt/v value and complication were compared between two groups.Results The catheter indwelling time,catheter use times,blood flow and Kt/v value of patients in internal jugular vein group and femoral vein group were (41.81 ±10.96) days,(17.17±4.83) times,(230.94 ±20.33) mL/min,1.48 ±0.16 and (27.09 ±9.77) days,(10.46 ±4.13) times,(215.46 ±28.07) mL/min,1.18 ±0.22 respectively,there was significant difference between two groups.The infection,embolism and puncture complication of patients in internal jugular vein group (34.2%,26.3% and 18.4%) were significantly higher than that of femoral vein group (8.3%,6.3% and 10.4%).Conclusion In contrast,the internal jugular vein is a better vascular access for hemodialysis.
