“…Note that some, but not all, BH protocols include antibiotic prophylaxis. 20,21 The BH technique is not recommended for all patients and is contraindicated in patients with arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). In North America and Australasia, the BH technique is considered a relative contraindication for newly created AVFs because the fistula is undergoing dynamic changes that influence the BH tracts; however, this practice is not consistent globally.…”

“…[5][6][7][21][22][23][24][25][26] The incidence of localized infections is increased with BH and other infectious complications have been reported. These include septic arthritis, bacterial endocarditis, and bacteremia; however, these conditions may not appear until long after the BH technique is initiated.…”

Creating and maintaining a healthy vascular access is a critical factor in successful home hemodialysis (HD). This article aims to serve as a "how-to manual" regarding vascular access issues for both patients and health-care providers in a home HD program. This document outlines cannulation options for patients with arteriovenous access and describes troubleshooting techniques for potential complications; strategies are suggested to help patients overcome fear of cannulation and address problems associated with difficult cannulation. Technical aspects of central venous catheter care, as well as a guide to troubleshooting catheter complications, are covered in detail. Monitoring for access-related complications of stenosis, infection, and thrombosis is a key part of every home HD program. Key performance and quality indicators are important mechanisms to ensure patient safety in home HD and should be used during routine clinic visits.

“…Patients or their caretakers are often required to cannulate the AV access themselves. Recent data show that the buttonhole technique that involves inserting the dialysis needle through the same needle tracts of an AV fistula facilitates cannulation and results in a lower degree of wear and tear to the access (17,18). However, the question of whether a heightened incidence of fistula infections may occur as a result of the frequent use of this technique for daily long dialysis has been raised (unpublished data).…”
