Simulation training for dialysis nurses shows promise in reducing needle mishaps
NCT ID NCT05302505
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding hands-on simulation training to standard classroom teaching helps nurses cause fewer problems when inserting needles into the arm access (arteriovenous fistula) of dialysis patients. About 9600 adults on chronic hemodialysis took part. The goal was to see if simulation training lowers the rate of issues like failed needle insertions or bruising.
