Systematically Intermittent Arm Exercise for Improving Maturation of Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Shunt: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

National Taiwan University Hospital

Arm vein intermittently gripping arm movements, can promote the increased diameter of arteriovenous fistula, which enhance the maturity of fistula, the effect of lack of empirical research. Objective: this study, randomized controlled study, investigate systematic random arm vein pressure and arm movements to arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients improve the maturity rate and effectiveness of the diameter. Methods: a prospective comparative study randomly assigned.

the effect size is the diameter of arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients with treatments or not is the key to smoothly. Arm vein intermittently gripping arm movements, can promote the increased diameter of arteriovenous fistula, which enhance the maturity of fistula, the effect of lack of empirical research. Objective: this study, randomized controlled study, investigate systematic random arm vein pressure and arm movements to arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients improve the maturity rate and effectiveness of the diameter. Methods: a prospective comparative study randomly assigned. This study plan for each patient has received a wrist artery and vein access tracks before and after 3 months of operation, according to randomly divided into three groups, the first group of patients after accepted guidance for systematic and intermittent arm movements; the second group of patients receiving the guidance system of intermittent arm vein compression and arm movements; a third group as a control group. Discussion: the plan is expected to include 150 patients, receive instruction after the randomly with/without systemic venous pressure, with/without systemic movement. The plan design under the patient safety assessment of the effectiveness of these two activities the primary end point and secondary end points. This study offers clinicians advise patients, how to effectively improve the patients ' arteriovenous access matured speed and diameter.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Inclusion for adult patients aged 20 and above. Preoperative evaluation site assessment/operation condition full wrist wrist artery and vein arteriovenous joint surgery. Objective sufficient conditions are defined as wrist artery and vein,/objective ultrasound evaluation before surgery, vein of the arm extended diameter scan before >= 2.5 mm, radial natural >= 2.0 mm diameter scan, no significant narrowing of both forearm. Excluded conditions including following, joined research Qian found patients too weak/or heart failure too serious/or consciousness not clear/or long-term bed, both inside and outside section attending operation Qian excluded wrist Department moving vein pathway surgery; operation Qian assessment/surgery site assessment wrist Department moving vein conditions insufficient, surgery physician judge to for standard wrist Department moving vein pathway/or select standard junction bit yiwai of parts for surgery; surgery Shi occurred non-expected negative complications, cannot effective completed surgery And said it could not meet before joining the research or patient tracking movement refused to examine the test or measurement

Exclusion Criteria:

• weak / serious heart failure / unclear / long-term bed rest, internal and external surgery physician preoperative removal of wrist arteriovenous access surgery; preoperative assessment / surgery site evaluation of wrist arteriovenous conditions, the surgeon to determine The standard wrist arteriovenous access and / or the selection of part of the standard joint site for surgery; unintended adverse complications during surgery, can not effectively complete the surgery; within one week after surgery complications, not suitable for tracking exercise or measurement, or before the study The patient indicated that he could not cooperate with the tracking exercise or the measurement and refused to study the trial.
