Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome of this study will be the independent differences of complications between the buttonhole cannulation technique and the rope-ladder/area cunnulation technique. The following parameters will be observed: development of aneurysms, occlusions and number of shunt infections.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary parameters in this study are patient experience and nursing experience in cannulation ease. The patient experience will be monitored with VAS scores for pain and cannulation fair. The nursing experience will be based on the number of attempts to cannulate, the use of ultrasound during cannulation, the time it takes to cannulate a single patient and the sort of needle the use. Adjacent to this the differences of development of haematoma, number of interventions and re-bleeding between the buttonhole cannulation technique and the rope-ladder/area technique will be scored.	—
