Questions About PD

  1. We recently presented the ISPD guideline of ruling out MRSA of the nares before the catheter is placed to our group of vascular surgeons. They voiced concerns for delaying treatment and patients access to care (adding additional appointments). What is the recommend process for following this guideline?

  2. I have a 56 y patient on HD since 7 monthes , SLE , DM AND she is egar to shift to PD but she has 3 cesarean sections ( last one 17 y ago ) . can we proceed for PD cathter insertion or bitter to avoid because of possiblity of presence of intrabdominal adhesions ? and IF yes any advise before or after cathter insertion thanks

  3. I have a lady on PD who is scheduled for hysterectomy/Oopherectomy-she is not sure yet whether it will be Laparoscopic or otherwise. What are recommendations re Antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment post procedure please Thank you
