Survey of Chinese ICU Nurses on Temporary Hemodialysis Catheter Removal Practices

A survey of 704 ICU nurses from 32 provincial-level regions in China investigates practices and evaluation factors for removing temporary hemodialysis catheters after continuous renal replacement therapy. The data was collected via a multicenter, cross-sectional questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square tests. The dataset was authored by Yanting Zhang and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the primary reasons for catheter retention based on reported factors like 'high patient bleeding risk'
• Comparing nursing practices and decision-making authority across different professional characteristics
• Identifying training gaps in catheter removal protocols based on the reported 55.4% formal training rate

Strengths

• Includes responses from 704 ICU nurses across a broad geographic scope of 32 provincial-level regions in China
• Reports specific, quantified findings such as 65.34% of nurses determining removal based on assessment results and 89.35% supporting daily assessment

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to the survey's respondent pool
