Functional vascular access is essential for adequate RRT. Basic requirements are to ensure adequate and regular flow with low morbidity. Most studies on indwelling tunneled dialysis catheters have been performed in chronic dialysis patients. For individuals requiring acute dialysis, the evidence on dialysis catheters is more limited, but there is a body of literature on nondialysis central venous catheters (CVC) in intensive-care patients. Many of the recommendations for patients requiring acute dialysis are, therefore, based on extrapolation of evidence from tunneled dialysis catheters or from nondialysis nontunneled CVC.
