Hemodialysis taping styles and their effect on reducing the chance of venous needle dislodgement.

CONCLUSIONS: We recommend that either the Chevron or butterfly style is used for dialysis needle taping, with the butterfly better suited to home dialysis (where monitors may be used) and the Chevron better suited for in-care patients who may present erratic movements. The overlapping style is not recommended for use. PMID: 33336846 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
