- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Primary outcome of this study will be the independent differences of<br /><br>complications between the buttonhole cannulation technique and the<br /><br>rope-ladder/area cunnulation technique. The following parameters will be<br /><br>observed: development of aneurysms, occlusions and number of shunt infections.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary parameters in this study are patient experience and nursing<br /><br>experience in cannulation ease. The patient experience will be monitored with<br /><br>VAS scores for pain and cannulation fair. The nursing experience will be based<br /><br>on the number of attempts to cannulate, the use of ultrasound during<br /><br>cannulation, the time it takes to cannulate a single patient and the sort of<br /><br>needle the use.<br /><br>Adjacent to this the differences of development of haematoma, number of<br /><br>interventions and re-bleeding between the buttonhole cannulation technique and<br /><br>the rope-ladder/area technique will be scored.</p><br>
