A questionnaire, designed to determine the current habits of British nephrologists regarding temporary vascular access for hemodialysis, was sent to 62 renal units. Forty-six (74%) completed questionnaires were returned. Cannulation of the subclavian vein with a single-lumen catheter is the most popular technique. There is only limited use of double- or dual-lumen catheters in the United Kingdom. Previously unreported fatal complications of subclavian hemodialysis catheters are described.
