NCT ID NCT07645365
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 398 adults who needed a temporary dialysis catheter, comparing those who got it in the emergency department versus those who got it in the dialysis unit. Researchers tracked infections and blood clots in the catheter for 10 days after placement. The goal is to see if one location leads to fewer complications, which could guide hospital practices.
