Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of upper limb rehabilitation exercise combined with mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream for external use on the management of arteriovenous fistula in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients.Methods From January 2021 to June 2022,40 MHD patients treated with routine care and external application of mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream were selected as the control group.From July 2022 to January 2024,40 MHD patients in our hospital treated with upper limb rehabilitation exercises combined with external application of mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream were included as the experimental group.The grip strength,arteriovenous fistula blood flow,head vein diameter on the non-fistula side,and incidence of arteriovenous fistula complications were compared between the two groups.Results After 4 months of intervention,patients in the experimental group showed significantly higher grip strength,arteriovenous fistula blood flow,and head vein diameter on the non-fistula side compared to the control group(P<0.05),while the incidence of arteriovenous fistula complications showed an opposite trend(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of upper limb rehabilitation exercises and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream for external use is effective in maintaining arteriovenous fistula and reducing the incidence of complications in MHD patients.
