“…Many recommendations have been made in the literature to counter such events, such as proper taping of needles, tightening of connections, or the use of Luer lock devices, loose looping of blood tubing, blood leakage sensors, and heightened surveillance for confused patients. 6,14,[26][27][28] However, as stated, both ANZ and US data confirm that the vast majority of fatal bleeds occur from spontaneous access rupture away from the dialysis facility (most often at home, assisted living, or a nursing home), and it is therefore likely that the family and caregivers are confronting these large bleeds, 29 rather than dialysis unit staff.…”

Bleeding from dialysis vascular access (arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous grafts, and vascular catheters) is uncommon. Death from these bleeds is rare and likely to be under-reported, with incident rates of fewer than 1 episode for every 1,000 patient-years on dialysis, meaning that dialysis units may experience this catastrophic event only once a decade. There is an opportunity to learn from (and therefore prevent) these bleeding deaths. We reviewed all reported episodes of death due to vascular access bleeding in Australia and New Zealand over a 14-year period together with individual dialysis units' root cause analyses on each event. In this perspective, we provide a clinically useful summary of the evidence and knowledge gained from these rare events. Our conclusion is that death due to dialysis vascular access hemorrhage is an uncommon, catastrophic, but potentially preventable event if the right policies and procedures are put in place.

“…To prevent such accidents during hemodialysis, various sensors to detect blood leakage have been proposed [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Of these, a flexible sensor based on a film substrate fabricated using printing technology seems appropriate [ 6 , 7 ].…”

We fabricate a wearable blood leakage sensor on a cotton textile by combining two newly developed techniques. First, we employ a screen-offset printing technique that avoids blurring, short circuiting between adjacent conductive patterns, and electrode fracturing to form an interdigitated electrode structure for the sensor on a textile. Furthermore, we develop a scheme to distinguish blood from other substances by utilizing the specific dielectric dispersion of blood observed in the sub-megahertz frequency range. The sensor can detect blood volumes as low as 15 μL, which is significantly lower than those of commercially available products (which can detect approximately 1 mL of blood) and comparable to a recently reported value of approximately 10 μL. In this study, we merge two technologies to develop a more practical skin-friendly sensor that can be applied for safe, stress-free blood leakage monitoring during hemodialysis.

The major intend of the nephrologists is to reduce the hardships faced by the patients affected with renal ailments. Kidney failure or renal failure is a condition where the function of kidney gets disabled/affected at large. This condition may neither be temporary or lifelong but in order to sustain in life, dialysis was adopted. The dialysis is a technical replacement of function of kidney and its process has two sectors; peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. In considering the long term blood filtering process, the hemodialysis will be an efficient device in replacing the renal functioning, but it was currently performed in the stable mode. In undergoing the deep survey, our team has analyzed that the major problem in the dialysis is the duration, cost, difficulties faced by the patients. In order to overcome these barriers, the prototype of the portable technology has been built for highly supporting the patients. In order to fulfill the life supporting requirement, the “Miniaturized portable hemodialysis” device has been introduced which will be portable than the conventional ones.
