“…The complications of vascular access are causes of admission in 16% to 25% of cases (22). Some complications can be fatal or with morbidity (23,24) We matched the age and background disease between the groups to reduce the confounding effects. Our results for this matter were similar to other studies (25,26).…”

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complicated kidney defect causing permanent failure in renal function in progressive stages. Hemodialysis is the most accepted treatment to maintain body’s fluid/electrolyte homeostasis at the terminal stages of the disease. Permanent hemodialysis catheter (permicath) may be inserted blindly or by fluoroscopic guidance. This study aimed to compare the early function and complications between fluoroscopic guidance and blindly insertion of permanent hemodialysis catheter. Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial was undertaken in the emergency department of Modarres hospital in Tehran, Iran during 2014 and 2015. Patients who needed catheter due to renal failure entered the study. Patients who needed emergency dialysis and those who could not wait for permicath were excluded. Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups, under fluoroscopic guidance and blindly catheter insertion. Data were collected using a questionnaire and a checklist related to function (after 24 hours and 1 month), a need to exchange the catheter and the early adverse effects such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, and vascular injury. Results: A total of 101 patients were enrolled in this trial. Early dysfunction (blind group= 5), a need for catheter exchange (blind group= 2), pneumothorax (blind group=2), vascular injury (blind group=1) were recorded but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: We did not observe a significant difference between the placement of permicath by fluoroscopic or blind method. However, more studies with larger groups are recommended.
