“…With the introduction of short dialysis and urea kinetic modelling, it was proven that single needle was less efficient than double needle dialysis. Although the use of single needle dialysis in Belgium is decreasing, it is still used in 40% of the patients (9,10). This was the reason why we observed a significantly higher use in comparison with the other countries.…”

summary The EDTNA/ERCA survey of the management of vascular access was the first project organised through the Collaborative Research Programme. This paper reports in the first part, on the current policies for management of vascular access which were studied using centre‐based data collected with a computer based questionnaire. The survey included 103 European centres treating a total of 13,800 chronic haemodialysis patients. 75% of patients in the participating centres were dialysed using a native arteriovenous fistula, 10% had a synthetic graft and 15% had a catheter. In most centres, well‐established hygienic precautions were used. When handling catheters, hygiene was even better. We observed that many aspects of access management varied significantly from region to region as well as between centres. The second part of this paper will relate the large differences observed in centre policies of vascular access management to individual patients' outcome parameters.

“…As we implemented the EDTNA/ERCA Clinical Standards (1) following their release in Belgium, we installed a monitoring tool in order to monitor the effect of implementation and to monitor quality of care delivered in general. This tool is based on an earlier regionally released questionnaire developed by the Flemish organisation ORPADT (2).…”

Summary In 1998 and 1999, we organised a questionnaire to be filled out by chronic haemodialysis patients. The first part dealt with general information data on the specific patient and the second part dealt with quality assessment data given as experienced by the individual patient. This second part included a ranking of preference by the patients and aspects patients wanted to see improved in the future. As we implemented the EDTNA/ERCA Clinical Standards and Core Curriculum, the monitoring tool, as described in this paper, was developed in order to monitor the effect of implementation. As a result of this two‐year monitoring process of quality of care, we can follow up the care provided by our multidisciplinary team. It has proven a very useful tool to find out what is to stay as it is and what is to be improved. Simply closing the loop!

“…Entretanto, por falha renal, a ausência de eritropoetina faz com que a hipoxia tenha pouco ou nenhum efeito sobre a estimulação da produção eritrocitária (Babitt & Lin, 2012). A associação entre a ausência de eritropoetina às outras alterações orgânicas da DRC (uremia, redução da sobrevida eritrocitária, deficiência de ferro, tendência à hemorragia), resulta na anemia, que se manifesta a partir do estágio 3 da avaliação da função renal (Hinkle & Cheever, 2015;Porth & Matfin, 2010).…”

“…Por si só, a anemia é extremamente incapacitante ao causar fraqueza, fadiga, insônia, dispneia e confusão mental. Cabe destacar que a sobrecarga cardíaca associada à anemia resulta na limitação do suprimento de oxigênio aos tecidos, aumentando as chances para insuficiência cardíaca aguda e eventos isquêmicos (Porth & Matfin, 2010). Os pacientes com DRC apresentam alto risco para o desenvolvimento desta condição, em especial aqueles em terapias de substituição renal (Nhan, Jensen & McMahon, 2007).…”

This study objective is to identify in the literature the role of nurses in caring for patientes with anemia associated with Chronic Kidney Disease. It is an integrative review of the literature carried out in the databases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Excerpta Medica database. Articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish were included, in any period of time and that presented nursing care and the role nurses in anemia associated with Chronic Kidney Disease. The results emphasize the role of the nurse in the development and leadership of care models and guidelines / protocols, revealing the importance of this professional in the planning and execution of nursing care. It is concluded that the Nursing Care Systematization and the Nursing Process linked to the use standardized languages, provide a structure for the organization of information and management of nursing care directed to patients with anemia associated with Chronic Kidney Disease.
