The technical management of vascular access in patients undergoing hospital hemodialysis constitutes a determining component for the continuity of renal replacement therapy, considering that the functionality of these devices directly interferes with dialysis treatment efficiency and clinical stability in hospitalized patients. The selection of vascular access modality should consider anatomical and clinical aspects, allowing the organization of care strategies aimed at venous preservation and the reduction of complications associated with the prolonged use of intravascular devices. Systematic monitoring of blood flow and structural integrity of vascular accesses supports the early identification of dysfunctions, contributing to the adoption of timely interventions during treatment. The implementation of practices focused on asepsis and clinical surveillance is also related to the reduction of bloodstream infections in hospital settings. The incorporation of image-guided technologies during device insertion increases procedural accuracy, preserving vascular integrity throughout hemodialysis sessions. Individualized vascular access planning allows the organization of strategies aimed at maintaining the functionality of devices used in clinical practice. This study aimed to analyze the technical management of vascular access in patients undergoing hospital hemodialysis, gathering scientific evidence to support clinical practice and promote therapeutic continuity in hospital environments.
