Randomized pilot study to compare metal needles versus plastic cannulae in the development of complications in hemodialysis access.

CONCLUSION: Decreased burden of illness related to cannulation (less infiltrations during hemodialysis) and Qb were associated with plastic cannulae. Decreased procedure costs were suggested during the study period in the plastic group. PMID: 29772982 [PubMed - in process]
