[Contribution of hemostatic dressings in the hemostasis of arteriovenous fistula? A quality improvement program in our center].

Introduction: In haemodialysis patients the length of bleeding times after fistula cannulation is an easy and fairly used method of monitoring vascular access. In the most cases, compression is performed manually by nurses and the use of haemostatic dressing is common. As data in the literature are scares, we have decided to develop a quality improvement program in our hemodialysis center to manage this issue.
