Abstract

The European Practice Database (EPD) project, developed by the EDTNA/ERCA Research Board, collects data on renal practice at centre level in different European countries. Results presented in this paper focus on the European Practice in Haemodialysis centres from 8 European countries or regions following data collection from 2002 to 2004. These results will enable international comparison in practice and will stimulate further research and the development of new practice recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper reports the findings from the European Practice Database project providing an overview of the technical aspects of haemodialysis treatment, comparing practice in Scotland and Belgium. Findings identified that in Scotland almost all centres (95%) employed renal technicians compared to 67% of centres in Belgium. There was also a higher level of technical duties performed by technicians in Scotland compared with Belgium, and marked differences in the disinfection protocols of dialysis machines between the two countries. The study highlights the need for further investigation to discover why technical practice varies so much between the two countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
