Questions About PD
Good morning. Does the ISPD have a position on use of Effluent Sample Bags specifically developed and designed to collect specimens from the patient transfer set for culture when peritonitis is suspected? The sample bag that I have seen is made by a well known vendor of CAPD solutions and supplies (dual bag, y-connection), and the procedure for collection of the specimen mirrors that used for connection and disconnection during an exchange. The product is essentially a miniature drain bag. There is no instillation of solution involved.
Is there a maximum hours for dwell time before performing a PET test? On the recommendations it says dwell 8-12 hours what if the dwell was over the 12 hours?
for a 4.25% of dextrose solution is there a possibility of a good adequacy?
