Nonsterile gloves were more frequently used than sterile gloves for arteriovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft (AVG), subcutaneously fixed superficial artery, noncuffed catheters, and cuffed catheters. In 2019, nonsterile gloves were reported in 67% of facilities for AVF, 60% for AVG, 71% for subcutaneously fixed superficial arteries, 74% for noncuffed catheters, and 73% for cuffed catheters. In 2022, rates were 81%, 60%, 67%, 64%, and 67%, respectively. Disinfectant selection differed by VA type. In 2019, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) was most commonly used for AVF, povidone\u2010iodine (PI) for AVG and subcutaneously fixed superficial arteries, and alcohol for both noncuffed and cuffed catheters. In 2022, CHG\u2013alcohol predominated for AVF, while PI remained a common disinfectant for AVG and subcutaneously fixed superficial arteries. PPE use increased from the first to the second survey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Infection control practices during VA cannulation and connection varied even among national university hospitals.
