Abstract:
Silicon rubber peritoneal dialysis catheter (Tenkoff) was inserted perioperatively in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery and also in those patients in whom right-sided heart failure may occur. This method is easy and safe even in neonates. Post operative excessive fluid retention could be avoided using this method.
