Poster

Talk Description

Skin irritation related to Haemodialysis Central Venous Cather (HD CVC) dressings and cleaning solutions was observed to be more common in, but not exclusive to, patients of Asian and Polynesian ethnicity with moderately-brown skin. Management of this condition is challenging especially in humid and hot climates. A flowchart to assist with the management of HD CVC related skin irritation was designed, implemented, and evaluated.
