Questions About PD

  1. Hello, is there a best practice guideline for dwell time for optimal fluid removal when using a 4.25% dianeal twin bag on a hypervolemic patient? Thank you, Karen Grant RN Ontario, Canada

  2. Hi, is it safe to do CAPD in a hotel room setting (carpets, curtains)? If unavoidable, what can i do to reduce the risk of peritonitis while doing CAPD in such a setting? I was told the pollutants/dust in the air will increase the risk of infection. Would proper technique + hand hygiene + a portal HEPA filter of some sort help? Thank you!

  3. Is Peritoneal Dialysis done at home every night SAFE for Septic Tanks??
