Abstract
The single-needle method, which greatly simplifies the technique of haemodialysis, was tested for its efficiency byin vitro andin vivo studies. It has proved equal in efficiency to the conventional double-needle techniques.
The possibilities of unilateral puncture of the femoral vein in association with the single-needle technique are pointed out.
