【Abstract】 Objective To study whether airtight blood re-infusion method was suitable for the heparin-free hemodialysis. Method Seventy-one patients with hemodialyis (100 dialysis sessions) were enrolled in this study, including 21 patients treated with 50 sessions of heparin-free hemodialysis (experimental group) and 50 maintenance hemodialyis patients with heparin in hemodialysis (control group). Airtight blood re-infusion method was used when the patients met the criteria. The extent of clots in pipeline and dialyzer after airtight blood re-infusion, the operation time for the re-infusion, and the frequency of pressure applied to the re-infusion were observed and compared between the two groups. Result The completion rate of airtight blood re-infusion was significantly lower in experimental group than in control group (P＜0.05). The occurrence of clots in pipeline or dialyzer in airtight blood re-infusion was significantly higher in experimental group than in control group (P＜0.05). However, the operation time for airtight blood re-infusion, and the frequency of pressure applied to the blood re-infusion were insignificant between the 2 groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion Airtight blood re-infusion method can be considered for patients using heparin-free hemodialysis when the presence of clots in pipeline ranks 0 or 1. During the airtight blood re-infusion, blood clotting in pipeline should be always monitored.
