Comparison of peritonitis rates with CCPD, manual CAPD, Y-sets, O-sets, UV devices and sterile weld
1Home Dialysis, Metrolina Kidney Center, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Abstract:
The peritonitis rates observed with various peritoneal dialysis techniques and connectors are analyzed based on literature results and a large center experience. It is apparent that techniques sharing an initial dialysate flush following a connection are superior in reducing the rate of peritonitis. Connecting and sterilizing devices may help prevent peritonitis in high risk groups and often facilitate the connecting procedure by serving as patient assist devices.
