New flushing technique may prevent dialysis catheter blockages
NCT ID NCT07567456
First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a pulsatile (stop-and-go) flushing technique can reduce blockages in tunnelled central venous access devices used for haemodialysis. About 591 patients from 14 kidney centres in Hong Kong will be split into three groups: two using different pause times during flushing and one using the standard method. The goal is to find the best way to keep catheters clear and improve patient outcomes.
