Nurse-placed Dialysis Catheters at the Bedside are improving outcomes and driving down costs
Patients with acute or chronic kidney disease can need different types of Dialysis Catheters – Acute/Temp Vas-Caths and Tunneled Perm Caths. Having a skilled partner who can perform these procedures as soon as they are clinically indicated, without delay – and at the patient’s bedside – can improve patient outcomes and decrease hospital and patient costs significantly.

Vascular Wellness Dialysis Program: Nurse-placed Dialysis Catheters at the Bedside
The Vascular Wellness Dialysis program was born from our full-time Director of Research and Development after listening to our hospital clients’ pain points about delayed and costly dialysis therapy. Our nurse clinician-led dialysis services are truly innovative and unmatched by virtually all vascular access nursing companies. We pride ourselves in being able to provide safe, timely, and effective Vas-Caths and other Large Bore lines with minimal bleeding or need for blood transfusion due to our expertise in ultrasound needle visualization.
Our successful clinical outcomes along with enabling nephrologists and vascular surgeons to focus on other matters has made this an attractive solution for many hospitals. We welcome a discussion to see how we can partner together.

Patient Case Example: Emergent Vascular Access Needed for Dialysis
Ruptured Fistula caused Emergent Dialysis Situation – A patient arrived at a facility for dialysis and explained to his care team that he believed his AV fistula had recently become infected. They explained it was likely ok, and as they were preparing him for dialysis, his fistula ruptured, creating an emergent situation. Vascular Wellness was contacted, and our nurse quickly reviewed the patient’s medical history, including evaluating what type of care and vein preservation he might need in the future. Given his renal status, and wanting to preserve his arms for future needs, she successfully inserted a mid-thigh femoral temporary dialysis catheter. The patient was able to begin dialysis the same day and without any further delay, and his care team was able to focus on treating the infection at his fistula site.
