| Özet |
| Objective: During the pandemic, some surgeries were postponed due to the large number of patients admitted by hospitals. It was tried to shorten the hospitalization period of some patients. Hemodialysis patients who had to come to the hospital frequently were also affected by this situation. Physicians working during the pandemic period prefer to use less invasive techniques. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether there is a change in the choice of vascular access used for hemodialysis in this period.Materıal and Method: In this study, 552 patients who were treated for hemodialysis vascular access in the cardiovascular surgery clinic of Kastamonu University Training and Research Hospital between March 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as pre-pandemic (Group 1) and pandemic (Group 2). Patients in Group 1 and Group 2 needed high-flow vascular access to perform hemodialysis. For this purpose, 2 techniques are frequently used, the first being arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and the other permanent hemodialysis catheter insertion. The distribution of these techniques used in patients was examined. |
