Abstract
The objective was to identify the average total cost (ATC) for installing and turning off hemodialysis on patients with central venous catheters. This quantitative, exploratory, and descriptive research, in the mode of a single-case study, was conducted in a public university hospital. The non-probabilistic sample corresponded to the observation of 100 installations and 100 terminations of hemodialysis on 42 patients during 23 days of collection. The ATC was calculated by multiplying the time spent by nurses by the unit cost of direct labor, and adding the cost of materials, solutions, and medications. The Brazilian currency (R$) was used for the calculations. The ATC for installation was R$ 80.10 and for shutting off was R$ 13.04, totaling R$ 93.14 per hemodialysis session. The results obtained will facilitate a better planning of the allocation of human, material, and financial resources enabling the increase of managerial strategies aimed at economic efficiency. doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i4.23044.

RESUMEN Se objetivó identificar el costo medio total (CMT) de la instalación y desconexión de hemodiálisis en pacientes portadores de catéter venoso central
O grande volume de recursos financeiros do orçamento ambulatorial do SUS destinado aos procedimentos relativos às Terapias Renais Substitutivas (TRS) e a perspectiva da tendência de aumento exponencial desta alocação, decorrente do aumento da expectativa de vida de portadores de doença renal (DR), configuram a avaliação econômica como importante aliada para subsidiar a alocação exequível e eficiente de recursos(2)
A hemodiálise (Hd) é a modalidade de TRS mais utilizada para portadores de DR portanto há a imprescindibilidade da produção de conhecimento que permita relacionar o uso de materiais específicos, soluções/medicamentos, mão de obra especializada e os custos para sua viabilidade(3)
