Population of the study: 163 patients of the clinic. Patients who are over eighteen years old and undergoing haemodialysis, performed using the rope-ladder technique for at least two years, will be included in the study. A sample of 80 subjects is estimated, which is the corresponding number to the total of patients being submitted to the rope-ladder technique.
