Abstract

Objective: to identify the average direct cost of long-term central venous catheter insertion in patients undergoing conventional hemodialysis in a public teaching and research hospital.
Method: quantitative, exploratory-descriptive research, conducted in a Dialysis Center in São Paulo, Brazil between November and December/2019. The average direct cost was calculated by multiplying the time spent by health professionals by the unit cost of direct labor, adding to the costs of inputs.
Results: The average total direct cost was US$134.56 (SD±3.65), of which US$107.01 (SD±0.23) for material costs, US$22.10 (SD±3.63) for direct labor of the catheter insertion team, US$4.65 (SD±0.00) for medication costs, and US$0.80 (SD±0.15) for solution costs.
Conclusion: the impact of costs with material resources and the indispensability of their rational allocation was verified, especially in public teaching and research hospitals, which have limited financial resources.
