Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain. Timepoint: When inserting a needle into a venous artery fistula. Method of measurement: Pain intensity in patients with arteriovenous fistula using the VAS instrument, which is a rule-like diagram numbered from zero to ten; Will be evaluated. The Linear-Visual Pain Scale is divided from zero to ten so that zero means painless and ten means maximum pain.;Physiological parameters. Timepoint: Before and immediately after insertion of the needle into the venous artery fistula. Method of measurement: Blood pressure and heart rate with a physiological device for measuring digital blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation level by a device for measuring blood oxygen saturation level.
