A cross-sectional study on non-infectious dysfunction of hemodialysis cuffed catheter.

Background: Dialysis cuffed catheter dysfunction results in inadequate dialysis, increased sepsis risk, and a shortened catheter life. It may be possible to prolong catheter function by identifying the causes of cuffed catheter dysfunction.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in 2021-2022 on hemodialysis patients with jugular cuff catheters.
