Life Cycle Assessment Dataset For Haemodialysis in Modena

The dataset provides a detailed breakdown of the processes and procedures involved in haemodialysis (HD) or haemodiafiltration (HDF) care, focusing on the operational pathways, roles, and activities required to deliver treatment effectively. It documents:

Vascular Access Procedures: Data on patient assessments for vascular access (arteriovenous fistulas or central venous catheters), the surgical creation of access points, and ongoing monitoring of these accesses.

Dialysis Machine Preparation and Patient Connection: Information on the preparation of HD machines by nurses, the connection and disconnection of patients, and the operational setup for each session.

Routine and Emergency Monitoring: Insights into routine nephrologist visits during dialysis, monthly patient evaluations, and emergency examinations for complications like blood flow or infection issues.

Water and Dialysate Management: Records on the preparation, monitoring, and quality control of dialysis water and dialysate solutions.

Operational Tasks: Documentation of non-clinical work, such as machine and room turnover, and administrative responsibilities managed by nurses outside regular shifts.

This dataset captures the full workflow of HD care, emphasizing the procedural steps, resource allocation, and clinical oversight needed to ensure safe and effective treatment. It serves as a foundational resource for analyzing the environmental, resource, and operational impacts of haemodialysis care.
