At present, the whole lifecycle management of vascular access for hemodialysis in China is still in its early stages. Faced with a large group of chronic kidney disease patients, hospitals at all levels lack systematic and continuous nursing management models. To address the issue of lacking continuous and effective nursing management of vascular access for dialysis during the period from hospitalization for autologous arteriovenous fistula surgery to outpatient maintenance hemodialysis treatment, this article introduces the background, specific implementation methods, and preliminary results of the new model of integrated medical and nursing follow-up management of vascular access for patients with hemodialysis during hospitalization and outpatient period constructed by the Wenjiang Hemodialysis Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University. The purpose is to explore a new model for continuous and effective management of vascular access for hemodialysis patients.
