Impact of needle type on substitution volume during online hemodiafiltration: plastic cannulae versus metal needles
Background Plastic cannulae have attracted increasing interest as an alternative to traditional metal needles with the aim of reducing cannulation-related complications.We investigated whether the substitution volumes during hemodiafiltration differ using these two types of needles in dialysis patients.Methods An intervention study involving 26 hem
