According to 2010 ISPD recommendation for antibiotic use for automated PD patients, I need to clarify the difference in long day dwell and in one exchange/day? Is it referring to day time dwell?

There are two important principles to be kept in mind with regard to antibiotic administration in an APD patient – first, the exchange should dwell for at least 4-6 hours to allow for complete absorption of the antibiotic, and second, if the patient has more than one exchange during the day, it should be the long dwell just before the night time cycling so that the concentrations are the highest before the hgher clearance with night-time cycling.
